TRAVELLIVE 01-2017

Tet is coming to town. When coming across some advertisement about the latest editions of lucky money envelopes, I suddenly miss my Tet in the past – all in the small lovely reds envelopes. Tet is always the time for gathering and sharing love, bánh chưng, delicious dishes, and spring journeys to ask for good blessings. But for small kids like me years ago, Tet is simply the time to receive lucky envelopes from grandparents and parents, the feeling of reaching a new age, and the happiness of buying new things. As long as we are kids, we will get lucky money. The red envelopes are the evidence that we are still young and beloved. Now, I am an adult and giving red envelopes have become a way for me to share love, wishing health for my parents and a wonderful year for family and friends. However, instead of giving money, I love surprising my loved ones when opening the red envelopes. A flight ticket for a warm spring trip is a great choice this new year! And you, why don’t you give the “lucky envelopes” to yourself and your family this spring? Do not forget to share your experience with us if you take the air-ticket-choice! We, the Travellive team, wish you a year of peace and happiness!

Tet is coming to town. When coming<br />

across some advertisement about the<br />

latest editions of lucky money envelopes,<br />

I suddenly miss my Tet in the past - all in<br />

the small lovely reds envelopes.<br />

Tet is always the time for gathering and<br />

sharing love, b∏nh ch≠ng, delicious dishes,<br />

and spring journeys to ask for good<br />

blessings. But for small kids like me years<br />

ago, Tet is simply the time to receive<br />

lucky envelopes from grandparents and<br />

parents, the feeling of reaching a new<br />

age, and the happiness of buying new<br />

things. As long as we are kids, we will<br />

get lucky money. The red envelopes are<br />

the evidence that we are still young and<br />

beloved.<br />

Now, I am an adult and giving red<br />

envelopes have become a way for me<br />

to share love, wishing health for my<br />

parents and a wonderful year for family<br />

and friends. However, instead of giving<br />

money, I love surprising my loved ones<br />

when opening the red envelopes. A<br />

flight ticket for a warm spring trip is a<br />

great choice this new year!<br />

And you, why don’t you give the “lucky<br />

envelopes” to yourself and your family<br />

this spring? Do not forget to share your<br />

experience with us if you take the airticket-choice!<br />

We, the <strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> team, wish you<br />

a year of peace and happiness!<br />

The true Japanese tastes<br />

Unlike Europeans, the Japanese consider slurping when eating noodles a compliment meaning "the noodles are<br />

perfect". The louder you are, the happier the chef becomes. This January, if you are seeking a new Japanese dining<br />

space, then visit Kohaku Sushi to enjoy more than 100 dishes, especially signature Japanese dishes such as Udon,<br />

Sushi, and Sashimi. What could be better than chilling out with friends and enjoying Tempura with yellow breading<br />

- a blend of flour, chicken egg, and water enveloping a soft filling of shrimp, meat, and vegetables.<br />

HANOI Boasting the taste and color of spring, Yu Sheng, also<br />

known as the prosperity fish salad is prepared with 27 high quality<br />

ingredients including salmon and different types of vegetables,<br />

sauces, and spices, each delivering a blessing for the new year.<br />

Yu Sheng was first prepared by 4 chefs in Singapore<br />

in 1964. Yusheng literally means “raw fish” but since<br />

it sounds like Yusheng which means an increase<br />

in abundance, the dish has become a symbol of<br />

prosperity and longevity. Singaporeans, especially<br />

business people and travelers, love enjoying the dish as a way to<br />

start their new year full of success, good health, and prosperity.<br />

Main ingredients<br />

Lo Hei Yu Sheng has salmon, grated vegetables, and signature<br />

spices. Each ingredient has its own symbolic meaning for luck and<br />

wealth. The main ingredients are fish (abundance), pomelo (luck<br />

and progress), pepper (the attainment of wealth), carrots (good<br />

luck), green radishes (longevity, eternal youth), white radishes<br />

(career promotions), deep-fried flour crisps (money flows like<br />

water), crushed peanut (gold and silver), sesame (prosperity),<br />

plum sauce (a house covered with gold or sweet relationships),<br />

and five spices (five blessings).<br />

HOw TO eNjOy<br />

Lo Hei or prosperity toss is believed to bring luck and success.<br />

The pronunciation of “lo hei” also means more prosperity. To<br />

enjoy the dish, people stand around a round table with chopsticks<br />

in hand. The host starts sprinkling spices such as white pepper,<br />

five spices, and sesame onto the salad and tops it off with a<br />

sauce. The ingredients are then tossed and mixed well. During<br />

the prosperity toss, people give blessings for the new year. The<br />

higher the ingredients are tossed, the luckier and wealthier they<br />

will be. Well mixed Yu Sheng means that prosperity and luck are<br />

shared equally by all diners.<br />

Yu Sheng prosperity toss is introduced at Fortuna Hotel from<br />

January 9 th to February 11 th with 3 options: Prosperity (for 2-3<br />

guests), Great Fortune (for 4-6 guests), and Lisianthus (for 8-10<br />

guests). Prices range from VND520,000++ to VND980,000++.<br />

For further information and reservation, please contact May Man<br />

IF YOU ARE A fan of the series Little<br />

House on the Prairie based on Laura<br />

Ingalls Wilder's novels inspired<br />

by her childhood in the American<br />

northern Midwest during the 1870s<br />

and 1880s, you would, of course,<br />

remember the simple homemade<br />

mashed potato which appeared in<br />

almost every family meal. Not only in<br />

America, when mentioning mashed<br />

potatoes, provided that it has lots<br />

of butter and milk, you will hear<br />

"there is hope in her!", whispered the<br />

French. Why not re-discover the most<br />

loved meals that French families<br />

prepare every day in another recipe:<br />

mashed potato blended with melted<br />

cheese?<br />

Called Aligot, the recipe sates the<br />

hunger of foodies from all over the<br />

world with that smooth, silky, 'sexy'<br />

and rich epitome of a great mashed<br />

potatoes and cheese. In case you<br />

may want to try making it a home,<br />

the classic Larousse Gastronomique<br />

- the foremost resource of culinary<br />

knowledge mentions a classic recipe<br />

of Aligot from 1kg potatoes, 500g<br />

Tomme (or Cantal), 30g butter, 2<br />

garlic cloves, salt, and pepper.<br />

This fondue-like dish was originally<br />

created by pilgrims on the holy<br />

Santiago de Compostela (Way of St.<br />

James). Later it became a main dish<br />

at gatherings and street markets.<br />

From L'Aubrac, Aligot is a French<br />

speciality traditionally made by<br />

mixing mashed potatoes, butter,<br />

garlic, and cream with either Tomme<br />

de Laguiole or Tomme d'Auvergne<br />

(the principal ingredient), appreciated<br />

with Toulouse sausages and roast<br />

pork, and evidentially, a lovely red<br />

Auvergne. Tomme de Laguiole<br />

made with raw, unpasteurized milk<br />

collected during summer, between<br />

May and October, adds a nutty<br />

flavour to Aligot. Other recipes use<br />

farmhouse Cantal to impart a strong,<br />

tangy butter taste which grows with<br />

age. Carrying the smell of earth and<br />

pasture lands, ripened Cantal offers<br />

you a vigorous taste while a young<br />

cheese brings the sweetness of milk.<br />

As you walk down on the street to<br />

sample Aligot, you will enjoy the<br />

Mozzarella version. What could treat<br />

you better than strings of melted<br />

Mozzarella made from Italian buffalo<br />

milk go with a cloud of fluffy, light<br />

and creamy mashed potatoes this<br />

spring?<br />

The French have<br />

always loved food.<br />

My friend even jokes<br />

that in France there<br />

is a restaurant for<br />

every three houses.<br />

And they never mind traveling a long<br />

way to have a special meal. Andrä<br />

Michelin also was French.<br />

French chef, Paul Bocuse, the pioneer<br />

of nouvelle cuisine (new cuisine)<br />

shared that "Michelin is the only<br />

true culinary guide". As the oldest<br />

and strictest measure in the world,<br />

Michelin ratings are set by Michelin<br />

reviewers - inspectors. They are<br />

strictly selected and have to partake<br />

in professional training courses<br />

to be experts. They are completely<br />

anonymous. Inspectors themselves<br />

are advised not to disclose their line<br />

of work, even to their parents and<br />

the company's top executives. They<br />

are not only the ones who create the<br />

reputation for Michelin but have great<br />

influence on the world culinary scene.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

Basically, there are criteria on which<br />

inspectors rate Michelin stars. The<br />

first one is the quality of dish that<br />

means every ingredient must be fresh.<br />

The second one is the skill of chefs'<br />

preparation and the combination of<br />

flavors. Regardless the relative tastes<br />

of different people around the world,<br />

the Michelin restaurants' dishes must<br />

satisfy anyone. The third and fourth<br />

are the level of creativity and the<br />

consistency of culinary standards. And<br />

the last one is the value for money.<br />

Michelin restaurants are not only the<br />

culinary symbol of the country; they<br />

help it to attract the large numbers of<br />

visitors.<br />

Chefs work very hard to achieve their<br />

Michelin dreams. Even when they<br />

already have a Michelin star, they<br />

have to work harder to keep it as it<br />

is not guaranteed that you will keep<br />

your Michelin star the following<br />

year. Therefore, the entire world is<br />

eager for each issue of the Michelin<br />

Guide. The publishing day of the<br />

guide has become a significant event,<br />

gaining even more attention than the<br />

Grammies and Oscars.<br />

I am so lucky to have spoken with<br />

Michelin chefs from France. The<br />

head chefs are 2-star-Michelin Thierry<br />

Drapeau, 1-star-Michelin Marc de<br />

Passorio, 1-star-Michelin Geoffrey<br />

Poësson, 1-star-Michelin Laurent<br />

Azoulay, and 1-star-Michelin Jean-<br />

Francois Bärard. When I asked about<br />

the intensity of work, head chef Jean-<br />

Francois Bärard shares that, with the<br />

exception of 2 weeks in the year, he<br />

works on average he works from 15<br />

to 17 hours per day including Sunday<br />

and Saturday. Chefs believe that the<br />

very first thing that a chef must get<br />

used to is working under pressure.<br />

What interests me most when talking<br />

to the Michelin chefs is that most of<br />

them started their cooking journey<br />

from a very early age. For example,<br />

head chef Marc de Passorio cooked his<br />

first dishes when he was 6 years old.<br />

Head chef Laurent Azoulay dropped

food&beverage<br />

In 1900, Andre Michelin and his brother –douard decided to published the Michelin Guide - a rating guide<br />

for special hotels and restaurants which are worth the journey "Une des meilleures tables, vaut le voyage". They only<br />

intended to boost the demand for cars, and thus for car tires - their products. It's easy to understand why the first issue<br />

also include maps to gas stations, mechanics stations, and instructions to replace tires. But at that time no one could<br />

imagine that Michelin would become a prestigious system, similar to the Oscars, for chefs around the world.<br />

out of school at 14 to focus on cooking.<br />

Many people misunderstand and<br />

think that Michelin stars are often<br />

only for luxurious restaurants and<br />

the ones that have long history.<br />

Actually, the scale is not important.<br />

There are many simple restaurants<br />

which get the star. With the taste<br />

of southern France, La Badiane by<br />

head chef Geoffrey Poësson and his<br />

only one staff is a striking example.<br />

The Michelin restaurants change<br />

their menu seasonally to ensure that<br />

the freshest ingredients are used.<br />

Enjoying incredibly delicious dishes<br />

at Michelin-named restaurants is a<br />

dream of millions of visitors around<br />

the world.<br />

In the legendary Saint Sulpice le<br />

Verdon region in western France,<br />

head chef 2-star-Michelin Thierry<br />

Drapeau inspires guests in the French<br />

countryside by introducing elegant<br />

and beautiful dishes with local flowers<br />

and herbs. If you have a chance to visit<br />

Provence this spring, don't forget to<br />

stop by the restaurant, Le Bistrot De<br />

Jef to experience vegetarian dishes<br />

prepared with ingredients grown by<br />

head chef ean-Francois Bärard or<br />

explore the sophisticated culinary art<br />

at L'Esprit de la Violette of head chef<br />

Marc de Passorio.<br />

The pressure that chefs endure does<br />

not only come from their work in<br />

kitchen but includes financial pressure<br />

to maintain their restaurant as well as<br />

high intensity work, especially during<br />

weekends and holidays. However hard<br />

their job is, when I ask them whether<br />

they would prefer to quit it or try to<br />

take another job while still young,<br />

the chefs just smile and shake their<br />

heads. All of them have spent their<br />

entire lives in the kitchens, without<br />

any questions. There is nothing in the<br />

world they would give this up for.<br />

Cooking starts are a hobby and then<br />

becomes a reason for living, a love. As<br />

chef head Marc said, "Diners come to<br />

us and the dishes they eat are prepared<br />

by our hands and our hearts as well."<br />

THE HARMONY OF<br />

VIETNAMESE TET CUISINE<br />

AND ITALIAN WINE<br />

Text: To Viet<br />

With the great<br />

abundance of local<br />

spices and herbs,<br />

all Vietnamese<br />

dishes regardless<br />

of originating from<br />

the North, Center,<br />

or the South are<br />

served well with<br />

Italian sparkling<br />

wine made from<br />

different types of<br />

grape including:<br />

Trebbiano, Pinot<br />

Grigio, Pecorino,<br />

Grillo, Inzolia<br />

(white grape),<br />

Sangiovese,<br />

Nebbiolo,<br />

NegroAmaro,<br />

Primitivo, Barbera<br />

and Montepulciano<br />

(red grape).<br />

Moreover, an array<br />

of fine Vietnamese<br />

dishes are only<br />

served during Tet.<br />

What could be more<br />

interesting than starting<br />

your meal with a bottle of<br />

Limited Festivity Rocca<br />

dei Forti sparkling wine to celebrate your<br />

joyful and memorable moments? The<br />

sweet, pleasant flavor and fragrance from<br />

the perfect combination of Malvasia and<br />

Moscato Canelli grapes will instantly<br />

uplift you.<br />

THE EIGHT BOWLS<br />

A traditional Vietnamese Tet banquet<br />

often includes 8 bowls and 8 plates, not<br />

to mention pickled onions, lettuce, b∏nh<br />

ch≠ng and baby jackfruit sticky rice. One<br />

of the 8 bowls normally is the m®ng l≠Ïi<br />

lÓn (pig tongue-like bamboo shoots) wellstewed<br />

with pig trotters. It is so soft and<br />

tender that you can feel it melt on your<br />

tongue from the first moment. The dish<br />

is garnished with a few limpid thread of<br />

Chinese cassava vermicelli, cooked green<br />

onions, and a sprinkling of coriander.<br />

A bite of well-stewed bamboo shoots is<br />

much more flavorful than the pig trotters,<br />

all of which are released from the meat<br />

and bones and dissolved into the broth.<br />

The second bowl is pork skin (b„ng<br />

b◊). Pork skin is dried, fried until it<br />

rises, macerated, washed, and cut into<br />

a rhombic shape. They are limpid,<br />

succulent, and buoyant. Kohlraby<br />

and carrots are carved into flowers,<br />

contributing theirs colors of white,<br />

yellow, and orange to the dish. All of the<br />

ingredients are soaked in the delicious<br />

broth.<br />

The next bowl is thin threads of wellcooked<br />

squid with thinly-sliced kohlrabi.<br />

Coriander is also used as spice and<br />

garnish.<br />

The fourth bowl is Chinese black<br />

mushrooms with stems removed and<br />

stuffed with fresh pork for a strong sweet<br />

taste.<br />

The fifth one is crispy limpid mackerel<br />

fin. After being washed and cooked, the<br />

fins become a fake salanganes nest which<br />

looks like vermicelli. In the sixth bowl,<br />

a bird is stuffed with young green rice,<br />

lotus seeds, lean meat, Chinese black<br />

mushroom, ear wood, and minced pork<br />

shoulder then braised until the meat and<br />

the bone can be easily separated.<br />

The seventh bowl is braised chicken<br />

with the similar recipe. The last bowl<br />

is vermicelli cooked with chicken<br />

giblets. The trimmed gizzard looks<br />

like a blooming flower laid on Chinese<br />

vermicelli threads which are not<br />

overcooked and still retain the crispiness<br />

of the mung bean powder.<br />

All of the 8 dishes can be served with<br />

Villa Velonosi or Collefrisio Vignaquadra<br />

sparking wine made from Pecorino<br />

grapes. It can also be served with<br />

Trinacria Chardonnay which has mild<br />

sourness and the fragrance of ripe fruits.<br />

....THE 8 PLATES<br />

There are 8 plates interspersed with each<br />

other on the tray. The first one is chopped<br />

boiled chicken. The yellow greasy chicken<br />

skin is decorated with green sliced<br />

lemon leaves which remind people of<br />

countryside gardens. This dish can be<br />

enjoyed with Torridoro NegroAmaro<br />

champagne from Puglia that has a mild<br />

acidity and savor of red and black fruits<br />

resulting in the balance of flavors and<br />

fragrance from pepper and clove bub.<br />

The dish also works well with Brecciarolo<br />

Gold (70% Montepulciano and 30%<br />

Sangiovese grape) with a slightly sour<br />

taste and combined flavors of ripe fruits.<br />

The next 2 plates are Vietnamese pork<br />

sausage and roasted cinnamon sausage.<br />

The pork sausage is slightly pink while<br />

the roasted cinnamon sausage is orange<br />

due to the cinnamon powder and having<br />

been roasted over charcoal. These two<br />

dishes can be served with Torridoro<br />

Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon from Sicily<br />

Island which has the salty flavor of the<br />

sea and herbs in the mountain.<br />

The fourth plate is frozen meat with the<br />

transparent jelly that cools your tongue.<br />

The fifth plate is carp or amur fish<br />

cooked with sauce. They can come with<br />

white Italian sparkling wine made from<br />

Pecorino, Trebbiano, Pinot Grigio or<br />

Chardonnay grapes that smells like ripe<br />

fruits and tastes slightly sour.<br />

The next plate is gifl xµo pork head ham,<br />

also known as stir-fried pork pie. This<br />

plate's companion is a bottle of 80 Anni<br />

champagne made from Barbera grape<br />

of Dezzani's winery with the fragrance<br />

of wild flower and weeds combined with<br />

fragrance from fruits, smoke and spices.<br />

The seventh plate is vibrantly red sticky<br />

rice. B∏nh ch≠ng comes at the last plate,<br />

green and square, and divided into 8<br />

parts. The last two dishes can be served<br />

with Quattro (70% Cabernet Sauvignon<br />

and 30% Merlot grape), brewed for 18<br />

months in oak barrels of with 2<strong>01</strong>0<br />

Rocca-the fisrt-class champagne of<br />

Angelo Rocca and Figli winery from<br />

Puglia which is made from NegroAmaro<br />

and Malvasia Nera grape.<br />

Otherwise, you can use Ludi-the firstclass<br />

champagne and the pride of<br />

Velenosi winery from March. "Ludi"<br />

means "games" in Latin. The producer,<br />

seemingly, wants to enter into the neverending<br />

Tet spirit in Viet Nam.<br />

INSPIRED BY NAM PHUONG, Travellive team travel back in time to the old palaces<br />

where she used to visit to "touch" their beauty with European architectural<br />

design and to partly reappear the elegant Parfume du Sud's world in the<br />

1930s - 1940s.<br />

Stop at Bach Dinh (the White Palace), also known as Villa Blanche in<br />

French - one of the resort villas of Bao Dai, you will be embraced by the<br />

sacuanjoche trees along pathways and shaded on the ancient perrons. The<br />

sacuanjoche's white color makes the Bach Dinh more nostalgic, especially<br />

during sunset when the sun rays lie on the ancient Greek architectural lines.<br />

Then at Imperial Vung Tau, everything seems to belong to the same period<br />

of history. A luxurious royal European palace with classic paintings, a shiny<br />

black hand-crank landline, and a mahogany wooden cabinet,... all together<br />

trace back the footprint of Nam Phuong - the last empress of Vietnam - in<br />

her journey around the world. The story about Imperial Princess Nam<br />

Phuong, "the luxurious yet not arrogant woman with a discreet yet not<br />

bashful smile", has been an endless inspiration for many people.<br />

TRAVEL ABROAD<br />

When Vietnamese people are celebrating the lunar new year, european countries are sinking<br />

in winter with temperatures in the negative degrees. in such cold weather, if you plan to visit<br />

these countries, don’t forget to watch the weather and prepare carefully. apart from warm<br />

clothes, remember to bring light tops that can help you keep warm. Water-proof vests and<br />

windbreakers are the best choices of outerwear. Wear layers to keep your body temperature<br />

stable. indispensable accessories include wool hats, gloves, socks, scarves, and shoes. You<br />

better wear low-heeled shoes or sneakers as you will need to walk a lot. medicine for<br />

common illnesses such as colds, fevers, and headaches; wind oil; and ginger tea are necessary.<br />

to protect your skin from dry conditions, bring lotion, moisturizer, and lip balm.<br />

PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED<br />

Have a detail plan and budget for your<br />

travelling days. You should have cash reserved<br />

in case you have to deal with unexpected<br />

situations. Before using any services that<br />

haven’t quoted, ask for the price first to avoid<br />

unreasonable extra rates.<br />

Beside cash, make sure that you bring credit<br />

cards with you. money, documents, and<br />

jewelry must be carefully kept. if you plan<br />

your own trip, call your service suppliers to<br />

get flights ticket, book rooms, and confirm any<br />

changes before you go.<br />

For pilgrims, the Golden Rock Temple, also known as Kyaikhtiyo<br />

in Mon state, is one of the best places to travel in Malaysia. It<br />

is said that the Kyaikhtiyo temple was built when Buddha was<br />

still alive, about more than 2500 years ago. Kyaikhtiyo is not<br />

only one of the oldest and most famous temples in Myanmar<br />

but also an unparalleled heritage site in the world. The itinerary<br />

is challenging yet worth your while as you can see the sacred<br />

stones hovering on the rocks. The stone is covered by thin plates<br />

of gold and hung with only one strand of Buddha’s hair.<br />

Direction: Kyaikhtiyo is about 210km from the former capital<br />

Yangon ❀ time: Sunrise and sunset are the two most amazing<br />

times for you to admire Kyaikhtiyo.<br />

Wat Arun: Wait for sunset at<br />

Sunrise temple<br />

Situated on a prime location on the bank of the Chao Phraya<br />

River, Wat Arun in the heart of Bangkok is stunning at all times<br />

with its beautiful architectural design. Though its name means<br />

“sunrise”, Wat Arun is most beautiful at sunset, especially when<br />

the city starts lighting up. From the other side of the river, you<br />

can see the majestic main tower reflecting its images in water.<br />

The tower is 70m high and is adorned with numerous pieces<br />

of glass and Chinese ceramic. Through the staircase, you can<br />

reach the peak of the tower and contemplate the winding Chao<br />

Phraya River and two shrines - Grand Palace and Wat Pho on<br />

the opposite.<br />

Open time: 8:30 - 17:30 ❀ Note: Make sure you are<br />

wearing polite outfits or rent sarong at the entrance before<br />

Located in the suburbs of Kathmandu, the 36mhigh<br />

Boudhanath stupa has existed since the<br />

5 th century. The stupa used to be abandoned<br />

100 years ago. After being covered by<br />

volcanic dust from Merapi’s eruption, the<br />

stupa was rediscovered in 1814 and recognized by<br />

UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site in 1979.<br />

©Romancing The Planet<br />

The Boudhanath stupa was built on the ancient<br />

Silk Road connecting Nepal to Tibet, at the place<br />

where merchants often stopped to rest and pray.<br />

There is an interesting legend about the origin of<br />

the stupa. A woman had the allowance of the King<br />

of that time to build a stupa in an area of a buffalo<br />

skin. The woman cut the buffalo skin into thin fibers,<br />

connected them together, and using the wire to<br />

cover the large area in which the Boudhanath was<br />

built. Boudhanath is one of the largest stupas in the<br />

world. Its length (from wall to wall) is equivalent to<br />

that of a football field.<br />

FestiVAl: Losar is the new year’s festival of Tibet.<br />

The festival is held in February. This is also the time<br />

many pilgrims travel to Boudhanath ❀ time: The best<br />

time to visit the stupa is during sunset when hundreds<br />

of Buddhist followers pray and turn the praying wheel<br />

while going around the stupa clockwise.<br />

Yakcheonsa - stunning aesthetic<br />

architecture<br />

After exploring the beautiful Jeju Island with poetic scenes and<br />

sunny beach with a breeze, you should spend time visiting<br />

and worshipping at Yakcheonsa. Here, you have a chance to<br />

not only learn more about local Buddhists and pray for good<br />

fortune, but contemplate an architectural masterpiece and one<br />

of the most beautiful temples in Korea. Situated on the peak of a<br />

hill overlooking the beach in Taepo Dong, the temple was under<br />

construction from 1988 to 1996, marking the beginning of the<br />

development of Buddhists in Jeju Island. This is the headquarter<br />

of Pogye Order by Zen Master Ita Sunim (1929-1999), a Korean<br />

monk founder.<br />

The temple is sit on 122.100m 2 . There are two towers in the two<br />

front corners of it. The main hall consists of 4 floors, 28m high.<br />

and patterns. The main hall displays 18,000 gilded statues, 500<br />

Arhat statues, and a bell made from 18 tons of copper. It is the<br />

largest bell in Jeju and the second largest one in Korea.<br />

Apart from the impressive architecture, Yakcheonsa is famous<br />

for the god stream from the mountain. As the tale goes, using<br />

water from the stream to cook herbal medicine could cure any<br />

disease. Up till now, the temple has been one of the must-visit<br />

sacred places in Korea.<br />

Address: 293-28 Leodo-ro, Daepo-dong, Seogwipo, Jeju-do,<br />

Korea ❀ Highlight: Yakcheonsa is one of the most modern of<br />

of Nara PerIoD<br />

Located in the city of Nara in Nara province, Todaiji is<br />

the world’s largest architectural complex made from wood<br />

and is the pride of Japanese people. The temple was built<br />

in 734 in the time of Shomu Emperor. This was also the<br />

most thriving for Buddhists as Buddhism was the national<br />

religion.<br />

The temple’s main gate in the south is the largest temple<br />

gate in Japan with a height of 25.46m. The gate is very<br />

solid with 18 big columns which are 21m high. Two wood<br />

statues of guardian gods standing on the gate’s sides are<br />

nearly 8m high and more than 800 years old.<br />

Remember to visit the Great Buddhist Hall with the main<br />

side which is 57.5m wide, 50.5m deep, and 49.1m<br />

high. This is the place of the statue of Mahavairocana<br />

- the Buddha in the center of the universe. The Great<br />

Buddha statue was built by Shomu Japanese King in 752.<br />

It is 14.98m high, 380 tons, and always makes visitors<br />

feel overwhelmed when contemplating it. Particularly,<br />

the Kurguri column in the hall attracts a large number<br />

of visitors because it’s believed that those who squeeze<br />

through a hole on the column will be healthy and not be<br />

suffered from any diseases.<br />

The temple also contains national treasures, sophisticated<br />

carvings representative of Japanese carpentry, and many<br />

architectural works.<br />

as the happiest country in the world, Bhutan is also<br />

known as the land of the thundering dragons<br />

with numerous impressive temples, shrines, and<br />

monasteries. One of the most sacred monasteries<br />

in Bhutan is Taktsang Dzong - the Tiger’s Nest. It is<br />

supposed that Padmasambhava who first introduced Buddhism<br />

in Bhutan rode the tiger god from Tibet to Bhutan. He controlled<br />

and converted local deities to protectors of Buddhism and the<br />

country. Therefore, Taktsang Dzong has become the symbol of<br />

Buddhism there.<br />

Perched on the edge of dangerous cliffs which are 2,950m<br />

above sea level, the complex of Taktsang Dzong was built in<br />

1692 and has a magnificent view of the Paro valley below.<br />

The complex includes 4 main shrines and houses skillfully<br />

designed to match the geographical terrain of cliffs and caves.<br />

The shrines are connected with stairs and stone pathways. The<br />

monastery is surrounded by an endless pine forest. Sometimes,<br />

the entire monastery and Taktsang mountain are covered by<br />

clouds, creating a tranquil and miraculous space.<br />

Direction: Tiger’s Nest monastery is in Paro Valley, in Paro<br />

Dist ❀ note: You must ride a horse from the mountain foot to<br />

reach the monastery. It takes about 3 hours to go up and more than<br />

2 hours to get down. If your health is not good, consider carefully<br />

before taking this itinerary.<br />

Wat Si Saket: the museum of thousands<br />

of Buddhist statues in various sizes.<br />

When you visit the land of millions of elephants this festive<br />

season, it would be a pity if you missed a chance to visit<br />

the unique temples with sacred Buddhist statues. Wat<br />

Si Saket, located in the heart of Vientiane, is a great<br />

choice. Built by Chao Anouvong King - the last King of Lane Xang -<br />

Vientiane Dynasty - in 1818, the temple boasts the largest number of<br />

Buddhist statues in Laos. It is home to 6,840 statues made from different<br />

materials, including copper, stone, wood, silver, and plaster. The statues<br />

in various sizes are set along corridors, surrounding the main temple.<br />

There is also a nearly 400 year old library with a multitude of old<br />

Buddhist books hand written on palm leaves.<br />

In Wat Si Saket, every visitor spends time standing in a room in the left of<br />

the temple. This room is home to many statues damaged by war in Laos<br />

in the past. During the war, temples were looted and devastated. Many<br />

statues just have the body left, some lost hands, some lost legs, but most<br />

of them no longer have heads. When the wars passed, the locals rebuilt<br />

the temples and statues. Sisaket is not only a temple to worship but a<br />

great place to learn about the culture and history of Laos.<br />

Spend a few days visiting Angkor Wat when you have a<br />

chance to travel to Cambodia. Situated on the outskirts of<br />

Siem Reap, it is the symbol of the country and the peak of<br />

ancient Khmer architecture. Traditionally Angkor Wat is not<br />

considered a temple but it is a holy place for Cambodians.<br />

Angkor Wat is a complex of shrines and is the largest<br />

religious monument in the world and was recognized by<br />

UNESCO as world cultural heritage in 1992. Although<br />

there are only remnants left, contemplating Angkor in<br />

sunset, touching to Banteay Sreiís exquisite bas-reliefs,<br />

and walking on the main hall are great experiences for you<br />

to travel back to the golden period of the mighty empire<br />

that built such majestic and sophisticated buildings.<br />

The entire Angkor Wat was built from large stones pieced<br />

together. Bas reliefs and patterns based on ancient stories<br />

following the two famous epics - Mahabharata and<br />

Ramayana - were added, representing the skills of ancient<br />

Khmers. Angkor Wat is a voluminous work consisting of<br />

five towers. You can conquer the lofty tower by eight stairs<br />

up to the sky. Chipped stairs share the traces of centuries.<br />

I know you have just studied and done research in Germany for a short<br />

As I couldn’t go home to welcome the lunar new year with<br />

my family in Vietnam, this year I will celebrate Tet with the<br />

Vietnamese community in the city. We will have a traditional Tet.<br />

If you have a chance to introduce Vietnamese culture to your German<br />

friends, what would you share?<br />

Actually, I have had a chance to introduce some cultural<br />

distinctions of Vietnam to my colleagues at my university. I<br />

introduced them to some signature Vietnamese cuisine, including<br />

phÎ, nem (spring rolls), and b∏nh ch≠ng. I also shared with them<br />

some information about our traditional Ao dai and famous<br />

destinations in our country. I realize that Germans are eager to<br />

know more about Vietnamese culture and want to visit Vietnam to<br />

experience the country and people there.<br />

With a job that requires much time and effort to<br />

do research, how often do you visit your family in<br />

Vietnam, especially during Tet holiday?<br />

I go home 2 - 3 times a year for business trips to<br />

universities in Vietnam for different projects, to<br />

find potential graduate students or just to relax. My<br />

job in France allows me to have enough time to go<br />

home and travel for business trips. However, it’s<br />

quite difficult to come home during Tet as it’s also<br />

the time when a new semester starts in France.<br />

The second semester begins right after Christmas.<br />

After many years of living and working abroad, what<br />

makes you miss most when thinking about Tet?<br />

I miss spending time with my family most.<br />

When Tet comes, we gather together in a cozy<br />

atmosphere. Having lived in Paris for 10 years and<br />

compared to my 10 years in Hanoi, I realize that<br />

the two places have differences. Hanoians wake<br />

up in the early morning and there are the sounds<br />

of people and vehicles going around until night<br />

regardless the weather. But the city is extremely<br />

quiet on the first day of Tet. Perhaps, what makes<br />

me miss Hanoi most are the sounds and the hustle<br />

of life there.<br />

What do you feel when celebrating Tet far away from<br />

your hometown?<br />

In the first year I lived far from my parents, I didn’t<br />

have any celebration since I had to go to school that<br />

day. I only remember upon finishing my lessons at<br />

school, the Vietnamese were counting down for the<br />

new year. All I wanted at that time was to call my<br />

parents and give them blessings. I was homesick.<br />

In recent years, I have already gotten used to the<br />

new life in Paris. My friends and I here usually<br />

attempt to create a warm Tet atmosphere. After<br />

graduating from university in France, we lived and<br />

worked here. We want to do the same as what we<br />

used to in Vietnam. We together make b∏nh chung,<br />

go to the Chinese market to buy peach branches,<br />

buy sweets, and decorate a tray of fruit.

Would you please share with us the differences between the life in<br />

Vietnam and Italy, according to your own experiences?<br />

Life in Italy is more peaceful than the hustle and bustle of Hanoi.<br />

The air is fresher and food is safer. The temperate weather is good<br />

for my health now.<br />

As a Hanoian, what do you miss most about Tet?<br />

The most memorable thing is the atmosphere when Tet comes.<br />

People go shopping, buy peach branches, and make b∏nh ch≠ng.<br />

I miss the smell of incense during Tet. I miss the traditional<br />

activities there, taking a green tree branch after the eve, visiting<br />

temples and pagodas on the first day of the year, and going around<br />

to give my neighbors and friends blessings.<br />

There are many difficulties in celebrating Tet in Italy as the<br />

number of Vietnamese people there is not large.<br />

What do you often do during Tet for your children to learn more about<br />

Vietnamese culture?<br />

On the first day of the lunar new year, I give my grandchildren<br />

some lucky money. We prepare a banquet for the last day of the<br />

old year and the first day of the new one with b∏nh ch≠ng, nem<br />

(spring rolls), gifl (Vietnamese sausage), sticky rice, and dried<br />

bamboo soup. Last year, I also joined the Lantern festival hosted<br />

by the Vietnamese community in Bologna. All of us are very<br />

happy when exchanging culture and enjoying traditional<br />

performances. My grandchildren love wearing ao dai,<br />

watching lion dances, and partaking in bamboo dances<br />

(mÛa sπp).<br />

I often write about women - my grandmother, my mother, and those whom<br />

I have always admired. With close-knit relationships, they taught me how<br />

to love and appreciate old values through recipes for delicious dishes,<br />

traditional children's folk songs, and the way to arange a beautiful flower<br />

My grandmother loves dahlia. A strange love! The love she reserves for dahlia<br />

flowers is much greater than that for the fragrant roses she buys on normal days. As<br />

Tet approaches, apart from bunches of old coriander, the flower seller will bring a<br />

large bunch of dahlia for my grandmother in the early morning. Dahlia flowers are<br />

big but their petals are thin and their stems are crunchy, therefore, if we are not<br />

careful the flowers will be damaged and less charming.<br />

TO HAVE a beautiful vase, we must put the flowers in water to<br />

keep them fresh. For dahlia, my grandmother has shown me how to<br />

strip the leaves and cut the stems so that the stems' height is double<br />

the heights of the vase. Arrange the bigger flowers first to create the<br />

round "frame", the smaller ones and some asparagus leaves are added<br />

later. We have many crystal vases but my grandmother likes using<br />

the ceramic vase for Tet. A round vase with a wide mouth allows<br />

the flowers to spread. The yellow and red flowers interspersed with<br />

pink buds and green leaves are so eye catching.<br />

In a year of good harvest, the flowers are round and as big as a<br />

bowl. But if the weather is not good, dahlia is less beautiful so my<br />

grandmother buys some branches of gladiolus and gerbera. Long<br />

gladiolus and blossoming gerbera flowers are believed to bring luck<br />

and happiness to both the host and visitors.<br />

I remember on one of the last days of a year, my grandfather lighted<br />

an incense stick. The natural light went through the window to the<br />

living room, lighting up my grandmother's vase of flowers in the<br />

space of incense. That scene always lives in my heart as a memory<br />

of Tet and spring.<br />

Liege - BeLgium<br />

tHe aBaNDoNeD fortress<br />

Darkness arrived and we continued our journey to new<br />

places. As time was limited, we drove to Liege at night. Liege,<br />

where the abandoned fortress is situated, is now home to<br />

graffiti artists and an entertainment hub for young locals<br />

from midnight to early morning. We were welcomed by<br />

Sandrine, a close friend and local who knows the city best.<br />

Chartreuse fortress was built by the Dutch army between<br />

1817 and 1823 before Belgium was established. In the<br />

Belgian revolution in 1830, this large fortress became the<br />

Belgian’s military camp to protect Liege, with a capacity<br />

of about 3000 soldiers. In the two world wars, it was used<br />

as a German prison and then became a hospital of the<br />

Americans. After over 100 years of hard times, the fortress<br />

sank into oblivion, embraced by the nature.<br />

We arrived when it was quite dark. The<br />

place was extremely quiet. Inside<br />

the fortress, the night occupied the<br />

entire space. The only sound we could<br />

hear was the creak of our steps. Any<br />

other sound would have frightened us, standing in silence,<br />

skipping a breath and looking around. My two friends were<br />

braver and kept walking with the lights from their phones.<br />

I, however, lagged behind with my camera because it took<br />

time to adjust and take pictures in the low light condition.<br />

We strolled down the endless corridors, from site to site with<br />

cumbered iron bars and wooden windows. There are a few<br />

huge holes on the floor which were so dangerous. The story<br />

about a 3 year old boy who died here makes my nerves tingle.<br />

While it is scary at night, the fortress is lively during<br />

daytime. The sunlight spreads through the windows,<br />

brightening up the lines and colors of the graffiti on<br />

its walls. Along the endless corridors are rooms with<br />

high ceilings which were<br />

direcTion:<br />

affected by time.<br />

ü If you travel by car, you can<br />

park your car and enter in Thier<br />

de la Chartreuse’s gate. You can<br />

also take a bus number 35, stop<br />

at Grivegnee on Fortifications<br />

road, walk to Achille Lebeau road<br />

and follow a rail to reach the<br />

fortress’s center.<br />

noTe:<br />

ü Bring a flashlight, backup coats,<br />

and wood floors are old and<br />

TiMe:<br />

ü It takes about 4-5 hours to<br />

explore the area. You can start in<br />

early morning and watch sunrise<br />

on the top of the building or<br />

come at lunch then finish your<br />

trip with sunset’s beauty.<br />

Lianas are everywhere and<br />

rough roots emerging from<br />

the ground make the road<br />

rougher. We climbed from<br />

base to base, going down<br />

tunnels, taking advantage<br />

of nature light to explore<br />

the intriguing yet scary<br />

fortress. The deeper we went<br />

in the forest, the denser<br />

the plants got. Lush trees<br />

covered us, preventing light<br />

from coming through. We<br />

split ways to go through the<br />

forest and climbed to the<br />

highest building to get the<br />

panoramic view of the area.<br />

BORGLOON - BELGIUM<br />

READING BETWEEN THE<br />

LINES CHURCH<br />

The transparent church,<br />

also known as Reading<br />

between the Lines<br />

Church, is located in the<br />

suburbs of Borgloon,<br />

Belgium. We drove to the area, looking<br />

at the majestic mountains but didn’t<br />

know the exact location of the church<br />

because there is no search tool with<br />

directions to this secret place. We kept<br />

going, following a path and getting lost<br />

in a small village. We stopped at a small<br />

cafe and asked for more information.<br />

With a little English, the cafä’s owner<br />

showed us the way there with a few<br />

words; “left, right, straight, around,<br />

straight, and left”. Although we got his<br />

directions, he still drew a map for us<br />

and dinn’t forget to say good luck.<br />

To reach the church, we had to park<br />

our car and follow a path with fences<br />

and wild bushes on the sides. The sun<br />

rays gently lit up the hill which was<br />

entirely embraced with fresh green.<br />

The church gradually appeared in<br />

front of us. Upon approaching it, I<br />

realized that this miraculous work was<br />

constructed with stacked iron bars,<br />

leaving spaces between them. As its<br />

name already reflects, it’s easy to see<br />

everything outside while standing<br />

inside and vice versa.<br />

Built by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh’s<br />

Architecture Company, the church is<br />

named Reading between the Lines.<br />

In other words, from different points<br />

of view, from short of long distance,<br />

each person can have their own<br />

interpretation, considering it is either<br />

a steady building or a half-hidden one<br />

close to nature.<br />

FURTHER INFORMATION:<br />

TRANSPORTATION:<br />

ü Walking and cycling are the two ways to the<br />

church. If you travel by car, you must park your<br />

car on Sint-Truidersteenweg road (between<br />

Grootloonstraat and Neremstraat) and follow the<br />

direction.<br />

TIME:<br />

ü the best time to visit this place is during<br />

sunrise or sunset when sun rays go through the<br />

transparent church, creating a special light effect.<br />

tHe IroN ParK<br />

Saying goodbye<br />

to Sandrine and<br />

Belgium, we drove to<br />

Germany. A landscape<br />

park in Meiderich,<br />

Duisburg awaited us. The remnants<br />

of an industrial park was turned into<br />

a miraculous park thanks to a unique<br />

light installation.<br />

In the last 10 years, the industrial<br />

zone which covers 180 hectares has<br />

being redesigned its coat and become<br />

an artwork with numerous widely<br />

used parts. For example, the old huge<br />

factories are now an arts and cultural<br />

center, the old gas tank is restored to<br />

be the largest artificial diving center in<br />

Europe, and a climbing area is set in an<br />

old bunker. There is also the world’s<br />

largest artificial sand work here.<br />

AmSTeRDAm - NeTHeRLANDS<br />

tHe 7 LIttLe HoUses<br />

If you are a fan of Harry Potter, you may remember the Order<br />

of Phoenix’s headquarters - an invisible house set between<br />

two real ones in Grimmauld Square. The imaginative house<br />

which seems to be found only in novel actually exists in the<br />

heart of the Netherlands. Better still, not only one but seven<br />

tiny houses are stacked in an area of 10 centimeters between<br />

2 large houses. Even before Amsterdam became a thriving<br />

metropolis, the price of land there was very high. Only the upper<br />

class can afford to have visible luxurious houses on large streets<br />

or along the legendary Singel River. The middle and lower class<br />

houses are located in small deep lanes and nestled behind the<br />

large houses. Between the two houses - No 54 and No 70 on<br />

Westerstraat Road was a small lane leading to 7 houses numbered<br />

from 56 to 68. Time passed and things changed. The number<br />

of houses facing the street has been increasing fast, occupying<br />

every single meter of prime space. As a result, the lanes leading<br />

to the small houses have gradually disappeared, making room for<br />

luxurious houses - a symbol of stunning modern Amsterdam. The<br />

seven houses are not an exception.<br />

Kristian van Kuijk and his colleagues had the idea of recreating<br />

the 7 houses to fill the gap the houses left in the street. The<br />

tiny houses not only bring endless happiness to passers-by but<br />

remind us of the hard times of poor workers around the world.<br />

DONG HO PAINTING: “HEN WITH<br />

HER CHILDREN” AND “ROOSTER WITH<br />

ROSE IN MOUTH”<br />

Both the Dong Ho painting and woodcut stem<br />

from Dong Ho village in Bac Ninh Province.<br />

In the past, Dong Ho paintings were a popular<br />

decoration to celebrate Tet - the lunar new year.<br />

Villagers bought the paintings to hang on their<br />

walls for a year and replaced them with new<br />

ones when the new year came. In Dong Ho<br />

paintings, chickens (Ho chicken) have the honor<br />

of being used in both drawing and etchings. The<br />

most famous ones are Gµ Ƶn (the hen with her<br />

children), ßπi c∏t (the rooster of fortune), and Tam<br />

d≠¨ng khai th∏i (three goats representing luck).<br />

While the Gµ Ƶn delivers a blessing of peace<br />

and the happiness for the family and the ßπi c∏t<br />

symbolizes the wish for luck, Gµ trËng ngÀm hoa<br />

hÂng (Rooster with rose in mouth) represents<br />

farmers’ daily life. In Chinese, the word rooster<br />

sounds like fortune. The rooster is believed to<br />

bring luck and fortune for people in the new<br />

year. The rose symbolizes wealth, affluence,<br />

and prosperity. Therefore, many people buy the<br />

painting and hang it in their house, wishing a<br />

new start for their family in the new year.<br />

Apart from unique lines and<br />

layouts, a special feature of Dong<br />

Ho painting lies on the colors<br />

and materials. The paper used<br />

in Dong Ho is called gi†y di÷p.<br />

They ground seashells, mix them with cooked<br />

glutinous rice, then use a broom made of pine<br />

needles to brush the mixture onto the paper. The<br />

broom creates long lines while seashells bring<br />

the paper a sparkling white background. Colors<br />

in Dong Ho paintings are the natural colors<br />

from plants. For example the black is taken from<br />

ashes of burned bamboo leaves; the green is from<br />

oxidized copper and blue from indigo leaves,<br />

the yellow is from flowers, and the red is from<br />

gravel. They are the basic colors, equivalent to the<br />

number of wood carvings, therefore, Dong Ho<br />

paintings often consist of these 4 colors.<br />

direcTion: The Dong Ho painting village is in Song Ho commune,<br />

Thuan Thanh, Bac Ninh<br />

HANG TRONG PAINTING:<br />

THE PAINTING GENRE OF THE TOWN<br />

In the past, the main manufacturing area of<br />

Hang Trong paintings was located in the Tieu<br />

Tuc (later changed to Thuan My) in Tho Xuong<br />

district which is now the old quarter on Hang<br />

Trong, Hang Non, Hang Hom, and Hang Quat<br />

streets. Together with locals, numerous talented<br />

craftsmen moved to the area and worked for the<br />

painting workshops there. Due to the competitive<br />

market, the paintings often had the brand such<br />

as Thanh An, Vinh Loi, or Phuc Binh on them.<br />

Different from Dong Hos,<br />

Hang Trong paintings boast<br />

their own beauty. The size is<br />

many times larger than other<br />

painting genres. There is only<br />

one woodblock with fine lines. The popular<br />

works of tigers, peacocks, and fish showcase the<br />

high levels of woodcarving craftsmanship. The<br />

woodblocks with ink are put on paper to create<br />

the main lines, then the artist will finish the<br />

painting by hand. Meeting the aesthetic concepts<br />

of people in the town, the Hang Trong paintings<br />

with two stages of printing and drawing have<br />

the ability to recreate the cultural world for<br />

Vietnamese people.<br />

There are two main types of Hang Trong<br />

paintings: worship paintings and Tet paintings.<br />

The worship paintings are illustrations of<br />

Buddha, three-door temple gate, four-door<br />

temple gate, and five tigers which are related<br />

to the worship of the mother goddesses in<br />

Vietnam. Tet pictures are ChÛc phÛc (blessings),<br />

T¯ qu˝ (four seasons), and TË n˜ (virgin girl).<br />

Particularly, everyone wants to have a painting of<br />

a rooster this Chicken lunar year. In the painting,<br />

the rooster is majestically standing next to the<br />

vivid peony flowers, a shield for his children.<br />

Hang Trong paintings the two techniques of<br />

printing and drawing. They only print the basic<br />

lines, the draw and color the picture by broad<br />

soft brush with water colors. The brush is half<br />

dipped in color and half in water to dilute the<br />

color. From the original woodblock carvings,<br />

the paintings are printed in Chinese ink. Two or<br />

three layers of paper reinforce the painting. After<br />

the paper is dried, it needs coloring. It usually<br />

takes 3 or 4 days to finish a painting.<br />

hiSTory: Hang Trong paintings are now only made by the<br />

craftsman Le Dinh Nghiem. He shares that generations of his<br />

family have been engaged in painting since the late 16 th century •<br />

direcTion: Mr. Nghiem’s house is at no 25, Cua Ong street,<br />

Hoan Kiem, Hanoi. He reserves about 50 ancient woodblocks.<br />

KIM HOANG: THE RED<br />

PAINTINGS<br />

Kim Hoang is the<br />

common name of<br />

a popular painting<br />

genre from the<br />

18 th and 19 th<br />

centuries in Kim Hoang village,<br />

Van Canh, Hoai Duc, Ha Tay (now<br />

Hanoi). The Kim Hoang village is<br />

composed of Kim Bang and Hoang<br />

Bang villages which built Tr≠Îng<br />

b∂ng hÈi Æ◊nh communal house in<br />

17<strong>01</strong>. This is also the time when the<br />

red painting trend started.<br />

Different from other folk genres<br />

such as Dong Ho or Hang Trong<br />

painting, Kim Hoang paintings<br />

are distinctive for their red<br />

backgrounds. They do not use<br />

the same materials as Dong Ho or<br />

Hang Trong. Kim Hoang paintings<br />

are printed on scarlet paper and<br />

Chinese yellow paper. The pigs<br />

with black bodies and white border<br />

lines are as lovely as the clay pigs<br />

we see in the market. The red paper<br />

brings the pigs an impressive new<br />

beauty that can only be found in<br />

Kim Hoang paintings.<br />

Kim Hoang paintings also<br />

include worshiping and blessing<br />

paintings. However, the genre<br />

boasts numerous advantages of<br />

both Dong Ho and Hang Trong<br />

paintings. Kim Hoangs have<br />

finer and more sophisticated<br />

lines than Dong Ho while still<br />

containing the vivid colors of<br />

Hang Trong paintings. Regarding<br />

colors, Kim Hoang paintings<br />

use Chinese black ink, the white<br />

color from plaster and chalk, blue<br />

ink is blended with indigo, and<br />

chemical colors.<br />

Kim Hoang’s people loved the<br />

images of chickens in their<br />

pictures. They honor the beauty of<br />

roosters with 5 good qualities. The<br />

crest represents erudition while<br />

the spur is for virility. Roosters are<br />

not only courageous in fights but<br />

generous when sharing food with<br />

their children and neighbors. They<br />

crow on time to keep their trust.<br />

direcTion: Kim Hoang village is in Van Canh<br />

Commune, Hoai Duc, Hanoi • direcTion:<br />

During Tet, hang a few folk paintings in your<br />

house to wish for a year of luck, health, and<br />

happiness. Moreover, in the lunar year of<br />

chicken, what could be better than welcoming<br />

Tet with a couple of chicken paintings from<br />

Dong Ho, Hang Trong, or Kim Hoang?<br />

travel<br />

Before visiting morocco, all I knew about the country were the famous Casablanca<br />

song that I’ve listened to since I was at university and colorful Persian carpets<br />

from fairy tales. upon arriving marrakesh, I was impressed by the city’s strange<br />

cultural colors in southwest corner of this country in northern Africa.<br />

Text and photos: Nany Giang<br />

STRANGE COLORS<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 127

Right from the hotel, I could<br />

admire Marrakesh’s distinct<br />

architectural spaces. The riad (ryad)<br />

- 8 traditional Islamic houses, have<br />

been upgraded to accommodate<br />

tourists. Although I have seen<br />

many pictures of Riad Noos Noos<br />

- the hotel where I stay, I was still<br />

surprised when exploring it. Like<br />

other traditional Islamic houses,<br />

Riad is comprised of numerous<br />

rooms surrounding a main terrace<br />

connected directly to the skylight.<br />

In the center of the terrace is a<br />

beautiful well with enameled<br />

floral tiles and a small fountain.<br />

To ensure privacy, Islamic people<br />

don’t build windows, all light and<br />

air come from the terrace.<br />

meDINa: eNter tHe maze<br />

Medina refers to the old parts of<br />

Morocco. The medina in Marrakesh<br />

is like an actual maze. Upon<br />

entering it, everyone gets lost. But<br />

this also makes your trip more<br />

memorable. Christopher - my riad’s<br />

owner makes me laugh because<br />

after giving me a map and carefully<br />

showing me the ways, he ends<br />

everything with “if you get lost, just<br />

call me!”<br />

The medina is surrounded by a<br />

long city wall built from red desert<br />

stones. The stones’ signature color<br />

gives Marrakesh the name, “the<br />

pink city”. Right from the very<br />

first moments of the journey, I try<br />

to remember all the corners and<br />

take pictures of everything along<br />

the street in case I got lost in one<br />

of the narrow unnamed (or Arabic<br />

named) streets. The maze has a<br />

strange power to enchant anyone.<br />

I was attracted to the colorful<br />

handicraft shops. From time to<br />

time, I caught the wary gaze of<br />

locals glancing at visitors. I could<br />

also hear the prayers from mosques<br />

five times a day.<br />

While I enjoyed the tranquility in<br />

the narrow lanes between soaring<br />

buildings, it’s just a couple of<br />

steps to bring myself to the busy<br />

atmosphere of the colorful souks.<br />

Souks are small stalls selling every<br />

type of good, from traditional<br />

handicrafts such as ceramics,<br />

sophisticated floral carpets, and<br />

silver-plated tea cups to souvenirs<br />

like T-shirts, bags with typical<br />

images of Morocco, and many<br />

other decorations. Like in Turkey,<br />

the merchants are mainly male.<br />

However, while Turkish merchants<br />

are talkative and know the exact<br />

words to greet each visitor, sellers<br />

in Marrakesh’s souks have their<br />

own ways of greeting. I suddenly<br />

felt like I was playing with a<br />

kaleidoscope in the medina as every<br />

time I turned a corner, I found a<br />

new scene that was far different<br />

from the ones before.<br />

In the center of the medina where<br />

every traveler visits at least once<br />

is Jemaa el-Fnaa square. During<br />

daytime, there are a multitude of<br />

white and blue umbrellas covering<br />

the stalls selling fruit, drinks,<br />

and souvenirs for both visitors<br />

and locals alike. At night, the<br />

atmosphere here gets more vibrant<br />

thanks to the market which is<br />

listed as the first must-visit place<br />

in Marrakesh. I climbed onto a<br />

restaurant’s balcony, I chose a table<br />

and enjoyed a traditional Tajine<br />

dish while immersing myself in the<br />

lively atmosphere of the square.<br />

LoCaL fooD - taJINe<br />

You can order Tajine at any restaurant in Marrakesh, from luxurious ones<br />

to small food stalls in narrow lanes. This stewed dish is cooked above the<br />

charcoals of a small fire. Tajine is named after the large terracotta bowl with<br />

a conical lid which holds the meal. With its special shape, Tajine allows food<br />

to be well stewed without crushing it.<br />

ü You can ask for a Morocco visa<br />

at the Embassy of Morocco (9<br />

Embassy will issue visas 1 time for<br />

you according to your request. Fee:<br />

ü From Vietnam, you can fly to<br />

Morocco with Turkish Airlines,<br />

Qatar Airways, Emirates Airways,<br />

or Etihad. The flights often transit in<br />

Istanbul, Doha, or Dhabi, then land<br />

in Casablanca - the largest city in<br />

Morocco. From there, you can travel<br />

by bus or train to Marrakesh. Book<br />

high-quality bus ticket on www.ctm.<br />

ma to travel in Morocco or buy<br />

tickets at railway stations.<br />

reLigion:<br />

ü Morocco is an Islamic country,<br />

therefore, there are some things to<br />

take note of when traveling there.<br />

You should not use your left hand<br />

to do anything in public areas as<br />

they consider left hand not clean.<br />

Moroccans, especially women and<br />

the elderly, don’t like taking pictures,<br />

so you’d better ask them first. Most<br />

mosques in Morocco allow foreign<br />

visitors to enter, except for Hassan II<br />

in Casablanca.<br />

SighTSeeing:<br />

ü Must visit destinations in<br />

Marrakesh include the Souk market,<br />

El Badi Palace, Jardin Majorelle,<br />

Saadian Tomb, and Chez Ali<br />

Restaurant with live performances<br />

at night.<br />

The garden is a unique artwork of colors and shapes by the French artist,<br />

Jacques Majorelle. Nowadays, although it belongs to the famous fashion<br />

designer Yves Saint Laurent, the garden still retains its original beauty.<br />

Unlike the busy atmosphere in the scorching sun of the medina, the<br />

Majorelle Garden brings you fresh feelings right from the first moments you<br />

go through the gate. The entire garden is covered with colors of green and<br />

cobalt. The green comes from the plants and trees while the appealing cobalt<br />

is from the house’s walls. Among what is more than 300 species of plant<br />

from 5 continents, there is also cacti, palms, and bamboo. In that place, I felt<br />

like I had left my all weariness aside to enjoy the harmony of nature and art.<br />

LIVe sLowLY wItH a CUP of fraGraNt mINt tea<br />

Spend your time relaxing in a local house in Marrakesh after a long day of<br />

travelling. The hotel’s owner invited me to visit her house and welcomed me<br />

with a traditional ceremony - bringing me a silver teapot of hot mint tea. It’s<br />

Touareg, a traditional type of tea of Moroccan, which is the combination of<br />

green tea, fresh mint leaves, and sugar. Tea is their favorite drink as Islamic<br />

men are not allowed to drink alcohol.<br />

There are medinas, mint tea, souks, and mosques in everywhere in Morocco,<br />

but Marrakesh is the dream land which can attract visitors to come back by<br />

its special power.<br />

Text: Banana<br />

Enjoying coffee has now become part of Saigon’s<br />

interesting culture. It is so popular now that “coffee” is<br />

used as a verb. While the old ask their friends “Coffee,<br />

bro?” after buying a newspaper in the early morning, the<br />

younger ones meet up after a hard work day just with a<br />

suggestion “let’s coffee, dude!”<br />

FROM RACKET COFFEE IN<br />

NARROW LANES...<br />

Don’t be surprised if you see<br />

throngs of people sitting on chairs<br />

and drinking coffee on small lanes<br />

such as 330 Phan Dinh Phung<br />

(Phu Nhuan Dist.), 313 Tan Phuoc<br />

(Dist. 11).<br />

Before using filters to prepare<br />

coffee like the French, Saigon<br />

locals enjoyed drinking Chinese<br />

racket coffee. During the 1930s,<br />

1940s, and 1950s, everyone loved<br />

a delicious breakfast served with<br />

racket coffee and a fi nger - shaped<br />

souffle’ batter. Little kids often sat<br />

next to the adult to ask for small<br />

sips of coffee. A cup of coffee<br />

at that time was a part of their<br />

childhood when they were still<br />

young boys and girls hoping to<br />

contribute to their country.<br />

To have a fragrant cup of racket<br />

coffee, they put mashed coffee in<br />

a racket and dipped it into boiling<br />

water on the fire before stirring to<br />

make a foam and waiting a while<br />

before enjoying. The blacker the<br />

racket is, the tastier the coffee<br />

gets. The pot must be made from<br />

terra cotta so we could get the<br />

authentic scent. Some people joke<br />

that racket coffee is homemade<br />

“stewed coffee”, if you want to<br />

have a good “stewed dish”, then<br />

prepare good “ingredients”.<br />

Nowadays, not many young<br />

adults enjoy racket coffee, partly<br />

because it’s quite complicated<br />

and requires more steps than<br />

filtered coffee. However, the<br />

racket coffee shops are still busy<br />

as their regular guests are the<br />

little kids of many years ago.<br />

They keep their hobby of the old<br />

times, day by day, visiting the old<br />

places, reading newspapers<br />

and sipping fragrant coffee<br />

in the atmosphere of 1954’s<br />

Saigon. Time seems to stop at<br />

the point when we stopped using<br />

our mobile phones to contact<br />

our friends, when letters are still<br />

written by hand, and when we<br />

just love each other to forget the<br />

time like in the song of Trinh<br />

Cong Son.<br />

... TO “SITTING” FILTER<br />

COFFEE ON ROADSIDE<br />

Filtered coffee was inspired by<br />

the French Press - the way of<br />

preparing coffee of French people,<br />

yet filtered coffee in Saigon is far<br />

different. Prepared from Robusta,<br />

it’s very strong and can easily<br />

“charm” newcomers. When<br />

it is blended with very sweet<br />

condensed milk, it becomes “Sµi<br />

Gfln cµ ph s˜a Æ∏” (Saigon coffee<br />

milk with ice), a signature dish<br />

loved by Vietnamese people.

THE IMAGE OF<br />

SIMPLE VIETNAMESE<br />

COFFEE FILTERS<br />

AT SIDEWALK CAF–<br />

TELLS A BEAUTIFUL<br />

STORY OF ONE OF<br />

THE WORLD’S MOST<br />

UNIQUE STREET FOOD<br />

CULTURES.<br />

The coffee beans are roasted and pureed.<br />

Ground coffee is put into a metal filter<br />

and compressed by a filter. Add boiled<br />

water to the filter and wait for the drops<br />

of coffee to fall to the cup below. When<br />

it stops falling, stir the black coffee with<br />

the condensed milk to get your milk<br />

coffee which is both bitter and sweet.<br />

There is no recipe, from cappuccino to<br />

latte that can compare to the strong yet<br />

sophisticated taste of Saigon milk coffee<br />

with ice.<br />

The image of simple<br />

Vietnamese coffee fi lters<br />

at a sidewalk cafä tells a<br />

beautiful story of one of<br />

the world’s most unique<br />

street food cultures. Enjoying filtered<br />

coffee is an intriguing art of slow-living<br />

in the hustle of the city. While waiting<br />

for the coffee to drop, free your soul,<br />

think of what you love, or just enjoy your<br />

careless time.<br />

Though many people weigh which coffee<br />

brand is better or which type of coffee<br />

is the best, I don’t like the world-class<br />

coffee made from Arabica with a light,<br />

sour taste that costs about 100,000VND.<br />

I just love 10,000VND cups of coffee<br />

sold at the cart near my office, or “sitting”<br />

coffee in 30-4 park, on the blue bridge,<br />

and along Alexandre de Rhodes street.<br />

Once you travel to Saigon, don’t forget to<br />

experience “sitting” coffee which means<br />

you need to sit on the sidewalk to drink<br />

coffee. This is the typical cultural style of<br />

Saigon. Saigonese people are easy-going.<br />

They don’t need a chair or table to enjoy<br />

their coffee.<br />

AND IN OLD APARTMENT<br />

BUILDINGS<br />

Not many people, even Saigon<br />

inhabitants know all of the secrets of<br />

this city. Have you ever strolled down<br />

Nguyen Hue Street, looking up to the<br />

sky and noticing the colorful rubik’s<br />

cubes created by the windows of the<br />

old apartment buildings? They are the<br />

buildings at No 42 and 90 Nguyen<br />

Hue hiding their interesting secrets<br />

inside every corner, Ton That Dam<br />

building with stylish cafes and art<br />

studios, and the secret on Dong Khoi<br />

Pasteur. While racket coffee represent<br />

the previous generation, boutique cafes<br />

in old buildings are popular destinations<br />

for younger ones who love exploring,<br />

creating, and experiencing new things.<br />

The apartment building I liked most<br />

was silently located on the crossroad<br />

Dong Khoi - Ly Tu Trong in Dist. 1. It<br />

seems to sleep all time, but if you come<br />

across the gallery on the ground floor<br />

(like the way I explored it), you will find<br />

a new space. The entire building retains<br />

its beauty from the thriving Indochina<br />

times with an antique blue elevator<br />

and a red mailbox. The elevator is still<br />

operated by its original machinery so<br />

you can see and listen to the sounds of<br />

steel zippers. Go deeper to see the area<br />

behind the building, you will see dozens<br />

of small rooms alternately located near<br />

nostalgic yellow walls. Go straight on<br />

Dong Khoi street, pass through fashion<br />

centers to get the place near the city<br />

opera house and you will find an archway<br />

full of paintings like in a gallery. Keep<br />

going through the archway and go up on<br />

creaking stairs. A new place of surprises<br />

awaits you there. While the ground floor<br />

of the building is home to food stalls, the<br />

second one is L’usine cafä & restaurant<br />

- the “headquarters” of a community of<br />

those who love creating and designing,<br />

and the third floor is Quynh gallery with<br />

contemporary artwork.<br />

Stop at building at 42 Nguyen Hue which<br />

is dark and old with flaky walls. The<br />

building, however, offers you numerous<br />

stylish spaces such as the gentle<br />

Thinker&Dreamer in pastel colors, classic<br />

She Cafä decorated in a French style,<br />

elegant Partea with unique types of tea,<br />

and Sµi Gfln •i with feminine adoration.<br />

These old apartment buildings are like<br />

ant hills, greeting you with a small gate<br />

and opening but with sophisticated<br />

spaces inside. The deeper you enter, the<br />

more surprised you get when admiring<br />

the work of young artists to make use of<br />

the small areas. These first days of 2<strong>01</strong>7,<br />

have you found your own corner in the<br />

hustle and bustle Saigon?<br />
