THE MAGICAL BEAUTY OF<br />

BALI<br />

I had always wanted to travel to<br />

Bali with that someone special,<br />

and watch sunsets together.<br />

Streaks of yellow and orange<br />

luminously fill this beautiful island<br />

with a certain charm and mystery.<br />

My wish was finally realized when<br />

my husband and I chose Bali for<br />

our honeymoon.<br />

Exhibition "The Line" by Tran Van Thao<br />

"The Line" is the first solo exhibition in four years of Vietnam's foremost abstract painter<br />

Tran Van Thao. Reflecting on wider themes of mindfulness and subjectivity, Tran's new<br />

paintings are sombre ponderings on life's passages and trajectories. Straight lines are the<br />

key element of the series, forming linear shapes of markers or arrows - perhaps needle of<br />

compasses. In a similar manner, the canvas surfaces, textured with a plethora of material<br />

physicality and recurring motifs seem to represent the vast expanse that is a lifetime -<br />

overwhelming, serendipitous, changing from one moment to the next, unforeseable.<br />

A PEACEFUL OASIS<br />

Home is not simply a place you go back to. A home in the Celadon<br />

City township is the perfect puzzle piece that completes a family<br />

picture where happiness is found.<br />

The search for happiness<br />

A happy life is the thing that most people have pursued since ancient<br />

times with each and everyone having their own definition of what it<br />

means to be happy. For most women, happiness is found at home<br />

- a place where they can return to after a hard day at work, find<br />

joy in cooking, is often surrounded by loved ones, and having the<br />

opportunity to watch days go by.<br />

For most men, happiness is also having a place to call home where<br />

they can relieve their stress, and see the smile of their children.<br />

The simplest of pleasure gives a husband or a father often enough<br />

strength to go on carrying all the responsibilities and provide for<br />

their beloved family.<br />

A design in harmony with nature<br />

Celadon City is a 200-acre integrated urban development in HCM<br />

City that offers home owners eco-modern lifestyle and convenient<br />

access to a multitude of modern-day conveniences. With the<br />

desire to bring people closer to nature, Celadon City makes for a<br />

harmonious living space.<br />

With 16ha of the total area entirely used for parks, lakes, and green<br />

landscape, Celadon City fulfils its mission by bringing a green oasis<br />

to city residents. No more concrete buildings and stuffy living space,<br />

Celadon City brings in a new breath of fresh air.<br />

The combination of modern architecture, comfort, security<br />

and green living space is also reflected on the high-end facilities<br />

which include international standard schools, health clinics, to an<br />

entertainment center considered Vietnam's largest sports complex,<br />

cultural village, shopping centers, and coffee shops, making it a truly<br />

complete lifestyle for Celadon City residents.<br />

Not only a residential complex, Celadon City offers its residents a<br />

home to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life, relax with<br />

their families, and enjoy life's simple pleasures.<br />

Potentials and<br />

challenges<br />

Despite the positive feedback,<br />

investors has a lot to consider<br />

about the budget and expected<br />

performance of the projects in the<br />

coming years.<br />

Most new hotel properties are<br />

concentrated in coastal destinations,<br />

and the number of hotel apartments<br />

is currently higher than the number<br />

of resort hotels, which would lead<br />

to significant competitions in price,<br />

especially if the demand decreases.<br />

Some investors have not been<br />

cautious in the planning and<br />

positioning of the projects, therefore<br />

only focus on the development<br />

of high rise buildings to increase<br />

the number of rooms without<br />

considering the need to increase<br />

the projects' value. For long-term<br />

development and sustainable<br />

growth, tourism properties in<br />

Vietnam should be planned in a<br />

whole and coordinated manner.<br />

In addition to the significant increase<br />

of visitors, the revenue generated<br />

from hotels and resorts around the<br />

country has also improved, but not<br />

commensurate with the growing<br />

demand of these properties.<br />

Vietnam is a booming market in tourism thanks to<br />

the birth of budget airlines, travel technological<br />

improvements, visa exemption policies, and<br />

reduced language barriers as well as an<br />

increasing demand for new travel experiences at<br />

new destinations.<br />

The number of international visitors to Vietnam<br />

increased to 28% in 2017 as the highest rate<br />

in Asia. This growth rate is even higher than the<br />

recorded rate of 26% in 2016. All major tourism<br />

markets such as China, Korea, and Russia are<br />

growing fast and stable. The launch of new nonstop<br />

international flights allows international tourists<br />

to travel to Vietnam more easily, helping Vietnam<br />

maintain its position in a competitive market with<br />

other countries in Southeast Asia.<br />

Many experts agree that 2017 was a favorable<br />

year for hotel properties in Hanoi and Ho Chi<br />

Minh City. An increasing demand from tourists<br />

and business travelers has enabled hotel properties<br />

in the two major cities to operate in full capacity<br />

and generate more revenue than predicted at<br />

the beginning of the year. Properties introduced<br />

in the coming years in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh<br />

City are limited, so investors can consider which<br />

project they want to focus on in terms of their<br />

potential profitability, and of course, diversify the<br />

categories.<br />

The Second Home is becoming a trend in Vietnam. As of<br />

August, 2017, 42 Second Home projects were developed<br />

providing over 9,700 apartments at mid to high-end range,<br />

located mainly at six coastal locations (Khanh Hoa, Da<br />

Nang, Phu Quoc, Ho Tram, Ha Long, and Quang Nam)<br />

which include more than 19,200 units to enter the market<br />

within the next 3 years.<br />

Condotels are currently the most popular type of Second<br />

Home. Specifically, by 2019, condotels will account<br />

for 80% of the Second Home projects in major coastal<br />

destinations. One of the main reasons leading to the<br />

popularity of condotels in Vietnam in recent years is the<br />

steady growth of resort properties, and the investors' desire<br />

to shorten the payback period.<br />

However, in Vietnam, condotels and Second Home<br />

projects are seen more as an investment rather than a<br />

"lifestyle product" that caters to resort properties. The<br />

fierce competition in sales has affected the way these<br />

Second home<br />

projects are being promoted by investors.<br />

In order to promote sales, some projects have adopted a<br />

profit-making scheme that puts pressure on other investors<br />

with smaller scale projects by providing similar benefits to<br />

catch up with their competitors. More projects are being<br />

launched with larger scales and increased benefis in order<br />

to surpass previous projects, which make them risky for<br />

buyers when less experienced investors develope largescale<br />

projects that do not have sufficient funds or are not<br />

supported by the banks.<br />

Condotels and Second Home projects are often unlikely to<br />

generate attractive profits since they are required to have<br />

similar facilities and management to those of hotels and<br />

resorts in order to win the competition. The rate of return<br />

depends on the market conditions, the home owner's use,<br />

and the capability of the management company to achieve<br />

the expected return.<br />

In 2017 saw the country welcome over 12<br />

million international travellers according<br />

to the Vietnam National Administration<br />

of Tourism (VNAT), increasing 29,1%<br />

over the same period last year. By 2020,<br />

Vietnam is looking to host 20 million<br />

international visitors.<br />

Vung Tau Regency<br />

The tourism industry is envisaged to<br />

create 3.5 million jobs in the tourism<br />

sector, generating a total revenue of<br />

USD 35 billion which will account for<br />

approximately 10% of Vietnam's GDP. By<br />

2030, total tourism revenue is expected<br />

to double that of 2020.<br />

Seven tourism areas have been<br />

earmarked for further development due<br />

to their unique destination offerings.<br />

The seven key tourism areas will seek<br />

to provide a host of attractions that will<br />

cater to a wider range of tourists.<br />

Vietnam recently announced it would<br />

renew its 15-day visa exemption policy<br />

for citizens of Germany, France, Britain,<br />

Italy and Spain until the end of June<br />

<strong>2018</strong>, whilst the majority of Asian<br />

nations are already visa exempt and<br />

some other European countries are also<br />

exempt.<br />

International visitor arrivals have<br />

consistently been on an upward trend<br />

in Ho Chi Minh City and 2017 was a<br />

record breaking year reaching 6.3 million<br />

arrivals, an uplift of almost 22,88%<br />

year on year. Ho Chi Minh City is also<br />

a leisure destination with its many<br />

museums, shopping and developing food<br />

and beverage scene<br />

A wide range of international upscale<br />

and luxury hotel brands are already<br />

well represented in Ho Chi Minh City.<br />

These include IHG, Accor, Marriott and<br />

Hyatt. Domestic hotel brands in the<br />

upscale and luxury segment are more<br />

prevalent compared to Hanoi, providing<br />

some competition to these international<br />

operators. These include the Reverie<br />

Hotel, Caravelle Hotel, Hotel Majestic<br />

and the Rex Hotel.<br />

Besides, golf is another area where<br />

Vietnam has sought growth - demand<br />

for the four Championship courses in<br />

Danang and Hoi An has driven a minisurge<br />

in Korean arrivals keen to test<br />

themselves against the courses. This is<br />

on the back of the inaugural Ho Tram<br />

Open, won by current Masters Champion<br />

Sergio Garcia, which was Vietnam's<br />

richest ever sporting event with a total<br />

purse of US$1,500,000.<br />

Given the recent rapid growth in<br />

international visitor arrivals, continued<br />

marketing efforts, improvements to<br />

infrastructure and further development<br />

of human resources and services in<br />

Vietnam, the outlook for tourism and the<br />

accommodation sector is bright.<br />

Mr. Adam Bury said that the important point<br />

in Vietnam's tourism industry is whether<br />

tourists want to return to Vietnam. Thailand<br />

is an example where travelers often return to<br />

Bangkok. Many Singaporeans like to travel<br />

Thailand whenever they have a holiday. The<br />

number of visitors returning to Vietnam had<br />

been uncommon, but it is changing. Vietnam<br />

obviously has excellent potential in tourism,<br />

and is the most impressive tourist market in<br />

Southeast Asia.<br />

Here are some other insights of JLL's senior<br />

vice president in Asia.<br />

- Among potential cities for investment in<br />

tourism properties, Ho Chi Minh City is a<br />

major market, especially Hanoi, followed by<br />

Da Nang and Nha Trang which also have<br />

great potential for tourism properties.<br />

A number of hotels and resorts can be<br />

operated effectively if local developers can<br />

come up with clear business plans that are<br />

proved feasible. Cities like Ho Chi Minh<br />

City, Hanoi, Nha Trang, and Hoi An are<br />

great markets for investment. Singaporean<br />

investors have expressed their interest in<br />

Vietnam, but their obstacle is not being able<br />

to find many suitable locations.<br />

- Vietnam is obviously a country that attracts<br />

not only international but also domestic<br />

visitors. Vietnam's population has reached<br />

almost 100 million people, and the number<br />

of the rich has seen a significant increase as<br />

well as the demand for domestic travel. Thus,<br />

the demand for hotels and resorts is also on<br />

increase.<br />

- Vietnam is currently attracting not only<br />

foreign tourists but also domestic tourists.<br />

The population of Vietnam is nearly 100<br />

million people and the proportion of the rich<br />

in Vietnam is also increasing significantly,<br />

resulting in the increasing demand for tourism<br />

of the people. Therefore, the demand for<br />

hotels to serve tourists is increasing.<br />

- If individual investors want to invest in<br />

condotels, the most important thing is the<br />

reputation and capacity of the investor.<br />

Buyers often consider the reputation of the<br />

developer and the feasiblity and reliablity of<br />

the project. Buyers also take in consideration<br />

the success of previous projects from their<br />

developer.<br />

- Foreign investors have different views<br />

and perspectives when choosing to invest<br />

in Vietnam. Singaporean and Hong Kong<br />

investors in Vietnam are interested in shortterm<br />

investments. They usually operate the<br />

condotels for 3-5 years before handing them<br />

over. Investors from South Korea, Japan<br />

and Thailand often take a more careful<br />

and cautious approach when it comes to<br />

investments. They tend to keep the assets for<br />

a longer period from 15 - 20 years.<br />

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

Commitment policies: Are they<br />

sustainable?<br />

With the current competitive market, developers often offer<br />

attractive sales policies for buyers. For example, if a buyer joins the<br />

Rental Pool Program (which may be mandatory), after the handover,<br />

the condotel/villa will be deposited back to the developers for<br />

management, and the owner will receive 50 - 85% of profit.<br />

Buyers often have 15-20 days/year to use the condotel/villa, and for<br />

the first 5-10 years may receive a guaranteed yield (minimum 5-12%<br />

of the condotel/villa's value per year). Some developers even have<br />

agreement to buy back with 108% of the original value at the end of<br />

the guaranteed yield period.<br />

It will be difficult for developers to ensure their subsequent operating<br />

profit is sufficient to meet the commitments from these profit<br />

sharing/guaranteed yield (especially at high yield of above 11%) to buyback<br />

schemes. As a result, developers often have to take into account<br />

those in the selling prices, which are higher than selling prices with<br />

no commitment.<br />

It is one of the key points buyers often have to consider, but having<br />

a 5-10 year long commitment at a high rate from reputable investors<br />

make them feel more secure on a psychological level. On the other<br />

hand, since vacation properties reflect the lifestyle of buyers, people<br />

are willing to "put down the cash" for reputable projects in beautiful<br />

locations.

Oceanami<br />

Since these promising policies have<br />

only emerged during the last 3 years,<br />

it is still not possible to verify the<br />

developers' compliance. In 2017,<br />

a project in Nha Trang, whose<br />

guaranteed yield was promised at 15%<br />

per year, could not afford to pay the<br />

buyers after it went into operation.<br />

The developer then asked to reduce<br />

the commitment rate to 8% per year,<br />

and the case is in an on-going dispute.<br />

This reminds the buyer to consider the<br />

project's operational capability after<br />

the sale - often if the project is under<br />

the same reputable management as<br />

the hotel in the same project, buyers<br />

can be more reassured.<br />

Vietnam tourism is<br />

hopeful in <strong>2018</strong><br />

In recent years, Vietnam's visa<br />

application procedures have improved<br />

considerably. At the end of 2015,<br />

Vietnam granted visa waivers for<br />

citizens of five European countries.<br />

2017 marks the first year Vietmam is<br />

granting electronic visas for citizens<br />

from 40 countries (6 more have<br />

just been added under a Resolution<br />

issued December, 2017). In terms<br />

of infrastructure, more international<br />

flights come directly to major tourist<br />

destinations (such as Bangkok Airways<br />

with the Bangkok - Phu Quoc route<br />

or Thomson Airways with the London<br />

- Phu Quoc route).<br />

Van Don International Airport is<br />

expected to be put into operation in<br />

Quarter 1, <strong>2018</strong>, which will increase<br />

the number of tourists to Quang Ninh.<br />

These will lay a firm foundation for<br />

Vietnam's tourism industry in <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

Cam Ranh and the coastal area<br />

extending from South Da Nang to<br />

Hoi An are expected to be bright spots<br />

in terms of new supply, thanks to<br />

the availability of development sites.<br />

In addition, if the Special Economic<br />

Administrative Law is passed<br />

(expected to pass mid-<strong>2018</strong>), Van Don,<br />

northern Van Phong, and Phu Quoc<br />

are expected to attract many investors<br />

and developers.<br />

Legal issues for<br />

foreign investors<br />

Foreign investors rarely buy vacation<br />

properties because of a number of<br />

legal issues. As condotels are both<br />

residential and commercial land, a clear<br />

legal framework is not around for this<br />

type of project. According to the law,<br />

pink books are not to be provided for<br />

foreigners in areas of national security<br />

and defense, while local authorities<br />

in those areas are not given clear and<br />

proper guidance. Many developers are<br />

not interested in marketing this type of<br />

property to foreign buyers.<br />

Research and Consultancy<br />

In 2017, among three major<br />

markets (Da Nang, Nha Trang<br />

and Phu Quoc), Da Nang is a<br />

particularly bustling market with the<br />

sale of Cocobay condotels and Pan<br />

Pacific villas. Phu Quoc market is<br />

busier compared in 2016 with new<br />

projects managed by international<br />

brands such as InterContinental,<br />

Best Western Premier, Novotel,<br />

Movenpick and Wyndham.<br />

Developers have expanded their<br />

interest into new markets such as Ha<br />

Long, Quy Nhon, and Ho Tram.<br />

A boom in the vacation property market took place during 2015-2016 together with a<br />

steady growth of the general real estate market. For developers, properties-for-sale such<br />

as condotels and villas often allow them to recover their capital flows faster than rental<br />

properties such as hotels and serviced apartments.<br />

As Vietnam's economy and tourism are booming in recent years, and people's incomes are<br />

improving, more investors are becoming interested in vacation properties, which increases<br />

the demand for this market, and allows developers to make more bold choices.<br />

Most existing projects are located in beautiful coastal locations, and in the high-end range<br />

which targets high-end buyers. Projects from major developers such as Vingroup, Sun<br />

Group, Empire Group, CEO Group have a great absorption rate thanks to the reputation<br />

and strong sales of the developers.<br />

Policies and solutions to promote the tourism<br />

property market from <strong>2018</strong>-2020<br />

First of all, it is necessary to set up a legal framework for vacation properties, in which it<br />

is indicated clearly when the buyer is granted a certificate of land use right, ownership<br />

of houses and other assets attached to the land, which will increase the market's<br />

transparency.<br />

To ensure the bindingness of commitment policies, developers should be required to<br />

obtain bank guarantees for their projects. In case when the developers can not fulfill<br />

the obligations, the bank will compensate and reduce the risks for investors. With this<br />

requirement, developers are likely to be more cautious with their commitments and<br />

ensuring more realistic commitment rates. And only financially capable developers can<br />

offer attractive rates.<br />

Another important thing in tourism development is that developers must abide to<br />

environmental and landscape protection, preserve the "soul" of the land, and improve<br />

the quality of services. Those are the key elements that will attract visitors and ensure<br />

their return.<br />

RUBY<br />

CHOCOLATE<br />

There is no doubt chocolate lovers around the world are<br />

craving to taste the newly debuted chocolate invented<br />

by Barry Callebaut. Dubbed the fourth type of chocolate,<br />

"Ruby chocolate" comes 80 years after the existence of<br />

white, dark and milk chocolate.<br />

The hype created by the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products<br />

from Switzerland is huge among millennials, who have now gone on a "hunt" for this exciting and<br />

unique chocolate especially as Valentine's is approaching.<br />

After about a decade of development, Barry Callebaur has unveiled a breakthrough for the struggling global<br />

chocolate industry. The launch was held in September 2017 in Shanghai to introduce Ruby chocolate to<br />

major markets such as the United Kingdom, the United States, China and Japan after receiving positive<br />

feedback from consumers as well as chocolate experts.<br />

Ruby chocolate offers a totally new taste experience, which is not bitter, milky or sweet, but a tension<br />

between berry-fruitiness and luscious smoothness. Unlike other artificial reddish chocolate which had<br />

been introduced previously by a number of chocolate manufacturers, Barry Callebaut, the father of luxury<br />

chocolate bars, assures that Ruby Chocolate is made of entirely natural cocoa beans of a pink variety with a<br />

slightly sour but still sweet taste.<br />

This new chocolate is extracted from ruby beans that come from the Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Brazil. The<br />

product is the result of tremendous efforts from Barry Callebaut's hardworking teams at global research and<br />

development centers based around France and Belgium.<br />

By introducing Ruby chocolate, the Swiss confectioner is bringing a sensational product to the global<br />

chocolate table, and satisfying the most romantic hearts with such a pretty-looking and flavorful chocolate.<br />

Lovers around the world now has a good reason to look forward to for the upcoming Valentine's season. No<br />

information has been said on when Ruby Chocolate will be available in the Vietnam market. So, you lovers,<br />

just have to wait it out!<br />

Red Velvet is different from<br />

other kinds of cake because<br />

it is the cake that makes<br />

every heart feel young and<br />

excited even after many<br />

years.<br />

RED VELVET has become an exquisite<br />

cake that is a favorite dish of sweettoothed<br />

diners all over the world. This<br />

cake is also known as "Red Waldorf<br />

cake," "Waldorf Red cake," "Waldorf<br />

Astoria Red cake," "Red Carpet cake,"<br />

"Red Mystery cake," "Flame cake," and<br />

"$300 cake".<br />

As suggested by its name, Red Velvet<br />

is the mixture of red, magenta and<br />

russet to make it red velvet that is<br />

very distinctive. A traditional Red<br />

Velvet cake is often composed of<br />

cake and cream cheese. Red Velvet<br />

is different from other kinds of cake<br />

because it is the cake that makes<br />

every heart feel young and excited<br />

even after many years.<br />

Red Velvet can conquer even the<br />

toughest guest when it is served<br />

because it boasts a resplendent red coat<br />

and layers of cake mixed with white<br />

whipped cream. In addition, with its<br />

main ingredients of butter, sugar,<br />

vinegar, egg, cacao powder, flour and<br />

red food coloring (from red beet or<br />

radish), Red Velvet is a perfect harmony<br />

to fascinate every diner.<br />

Particularly, the strong contrast of the<br />

soft white cream, brown cacao layer<br />

and red sauce makes Red Velvet more<br />

alluring and irresistible with its balance<br />

and rich flavors. Mississippi native and<br />

Saveur magazine food editor Ben Mims<br />

explains the red velvet's attraction:<br />

"It's my mother's ceramic-white skin<br />

contrasted by her lips, always burnished<br />

with brick-red lipstick."<br />

It is not easy to make a mouthwatering<br />

Red Velvet cake because it requires<br />

many strict elements. The cake flour<br />

must be very smooth, soft and fat with<br />

enough butter. In terms of color, it<br />

should be red enough to make the cake<br />

look sweet and tempting. The whipped<br />

cream must taste sweet of sugar, fat of<br />

milk and the deliciousness of cream<br />

cheese. Especially, it should melt on<br />

one's tongue when tasted.<br />

You can have Red Velvet with red<br />

wine, orange juice, coffee or jelly.<br />

Each pairing will bring you new and<br />

tantalizing flavors.<br />

Celebrate Valentine Day As Japanese Style<br />

Valentine's Day is a day for couples spending their time romantically together at a nice restaurant.<br />

And when it comes to gifts and the man sends flowers or chocolates or a card to the woman. But<br />

in Japan, things are rather different. Valentine's Day is of course an imported holiday with no<br />

established traditions in the country, so when it was introduced by confectionery makers to the<br />

general public in the late 1950s, it was marketed as a day when chocolate giving was a must - and<br />

on that day, women will present chocolates to men.<br />

This Valentine season is a great opportunity for all ladies who want to express your love to the<br />

man. And to bring a romantic day for you, Executive Chef of Yoshino restaurant - Mr. Kenji<br />

Maeda honor to present Love Kaiseki for all dinners who want to show their love to partners from<br />

1 to 14 February <strong>2018</strong>. Love Kaiseki including 8 courses priced at 1.600.000++VND. Especially,<br />

we prepare special gifts for all couples use Love Kaiseki on this Valentine season.<br />

DALAT IS AN IDEAL PLACE FOR STAR-STRUCK LOVERS. THE<br />

HANDS I HELD MAY BE DIFFRENT, THE PLACES I WENT MAY BE<br />

DIFFERENT, BUT DALAT STILL RETAINS ITS UNIQUE CHARM<br />

Text and photos: Ly Thanh Co<br />

Da Lat<br />

A HAVEN FOR LOVERS<br />

90<br />

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

If there is one place I would like to visit time and time again, it would be the beautiful<br />

town of Dalat. Nestled among endless pine trees and rolling hills, Dalat's unique charm<br />

has never failed to surprise me everytime, from its comfort food, to tucked away cafäs, to<br />

hidden nature spots.<br />

There is something always so charming about Da Lat that keeps attracting lovers to this<br />

sweet haven. The bus from Saigon to Dalat departs late at night, and arrives in Da Lat<br />

early in the morning when the streets have yet to wake up from its beauty sleep. I often<br />

take a walk around town while waiting for the banh can shop on 14 Tang Bat Ho or banh<br />

mi xiu mai shop on 47 Hoang Dieu to open. A nice hot breakfast will keep you warm<br />

before heading out to the outskirts of Dalat looking for some new experience.

I can not remember the number<br />

of times I have been to Dalat. The<br />

first time I went there was 2008<br />

when I was in love for the first<br />

time. Nine years have passed, and<br />

every year, I always go back no less<br />

than three times. Every trip is a<br />

different experience. I may have<br />

held different hands, and gone<br />

to different places, but Dalat still<br />

retains its unique charm. Dalat<br />

is an ideal place for star-struck<br />

lovers who want to spend their<br />

days gazing away in each other's<br />

eyes under the breezy air, or for<br />

more adventurous lovers, there<br />

is a myriad of lakes and waterfalls<br />

around town to visit. Either way,<br />

this is a haven for couples wishing<br />

to escape from the hustle and<br />

bustle of the city life.<br />

Try to go out of town when you are<br />

in Dalat. Hire a bike, and go up to<br />

the plateau where you can enjoy<br />

the cool wind, fresh air, and find<br />

incredible beauty.<br />

A nice stroll around Xuan Huong<br />

Lake or a visit to the Dalat Market<br />

are worth taking. But of course, I<br />

do not want to do the same thing<br />

again and again. I often head to<br />

new places everytime I visit. It is<br />

how I manage to always stay in<br />

love with Dalat.<br />

Ta Nung Commune<br />

Located about 15km west of Dalat,<br />

Ta Nung is a small commune that<br />

brought me the most wonderful<br />

memories. The sight was<br />

unforgettable as we drove across<br />

fields of tithonia in its blooming<br />

season, along with vast fields of<br />

buckwheat, Michaelmas daisy,<br />

and coffee.<br />

It's truly<br />

amazing<br />

to be<br />

surrounded<br />

by these<br />

huge bunches<br />

of flower,<br />

WHICH remind<br />

me of Alice in<br />

Wonderland.<br />

Hydrangea flower farm in Xuan Tho Commune<br />

Hydrangea is a popular flower in Dalat, which can be found all year<br />

round on every street of Dalat. But the largest hydrangea flower farm is<br />

located in Xuan Tho Commune with an area covering over 20 hectares.<br />

Many couples come to this beautiful hydrangea farm to have their<br />

wedding photos taken. It's truly amazing to be surrounded by these<br />

huge bunches of flower which remind me of Alice in Wonderland.<br />

Since the farm is privately owned and visitors pay a small fee to enter<br />

the farm, I have to admit it is well preserved and free of litter. From<br />

Dalat, head towards the National Highway No.20 for 11 km to get to Trai<br />

Mat Station. From there, continue another 500m, and look to the left to<br />

see a sign that will direct you to the hydrangea flower farm.<br />

"Snow" field in Dalat<br />

What I call "snow" is in fact, the early<br />

morning dew that covers a field in<br />

Dalat, which could easily be mistaken<br />

for snow under the white glare of the<br />

sun. When we went there, we were<br />

lucky to have beautiful weather with<br />

the sun shining bright at 7 am, turning<br />

the whole area into a "snow" field.<br />

Even our local guide was surprised to<br />

see such an amazing sight, "Only 1 out<br />

of every 10 trips I get to see something<br />

like this!", she said.<br />

What you need to be ready to go on a<br />

"snow" hunt is to get up super early<br />

to catch the sight of the dew melting<br />

around 8 am. When the sun is up high,<br />

the "snow" field disappears - such a<br />

shame for late arrivals.<br />

From the town center, head towards the Golden Valley<br />

along Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Road. From the Scientific<br />

Research Institute of Highland, turn left at the T-junction.<br />

Continue another 4km towards the Golden Valley,<br />

look to the right to find a small trail. The trail is a little<br />

dangerous, so be careful. Continue for 1km, and you will<br />

find the field.<br />

Sunflower filed in Lac<br />

Duong Prefecture<br />

The sunflower field sits within<br />

the Dalat Milk factory. You need<br />

to provide your identification card<br />

at the entrance, and leave your<br />

motorbike outside. No entrance fee<br />

was required, but I went and bought<br />

a milk carton in gratitude for the<br />

factory's hospitality.<br />

I found the field not as crowded<br />

and "noisy" as described by the<br />

newspaper. Trash bins were placed<br />

around the field, and people walked<br />

in order. The area was large enough<br />

for large crowds. The crowds of<br />

people there reminded me of my time<br />

spent in Owakudani, Hakone, Japan.<br />

Despite the big crowds, people still<br />

moved around in an extremely order<br />

fashion.<br />

From Dalat, head towards the National Highway<br />

No.20 and go in the opposite direction of Duc Trong,<br />

pass Finom T-junction. At Bong Lai T-junction, turn left,<br />

continue for 5km and you will find the milk factory and<br />

sunflower field.<br />

Cozy places to stay<br />

Dalat always brings me the warmest<br />

feelings. There is no need for one to stay in<br />

any luxury hotel or resort. I always choose<br />

places that have a "home" feel to stay at.<br />

Every time I go here, I choose a new place<br />

to stay, and all the dishes taste like new.<br />

I once stayed at –tä, a warm and pleasent<br />

small hostel in downtown. Poshtel, a house<br />

in the clouds with a beautiful garden, is<br />

another favorite of mine. Or, if you want to<br />

experience sleeping in a tent, The Shelter<br />

Homestay is the place to try.<br />

Each place I stayed has a different "home"<br />

feel, but one thing in common among<br />

them is the coziness. When I decide to<br />

bring that someone special with me to<br />

Dalat, I still choose to stay in those homes,<br />

share a family meal, chat with the owner<br />

about all things trivial, and especially live<br />

through the many amazing seasons in this<br />

beautiful town of love.<br />

LY THANH CO<br />

According to the<br />

travel blogger on<br />

VENTUROLOGY.<br />

ORG, everyone has<br />

an addiction, and that<br />

addiction to me is<br />

travel. Travel, writing,<br />

and photography<br />

have always been<br />

my passion, and that<br />

I will continue for<br />

many years to come.<br />

"Youth is a long story<br />

to tell."<br />

Enjoy a hot coffee with<br />

your loved one<br />

When you have enough of all the trips,<br />

it is time to return to Dalat, and find<br />

a romantic setting to spend with your<br />

loved one. That is what I usually do.<br />

You could easily take a trip in the<br />

morning, and come back to town in the<br />

afternoon. Visit one of the street cafäs,<br />

order a hot Cappuccino, and enjoy<br />

yourself. Bring a book with you, and<br />

the two of you can escape to your own<br />

world while spending precious time<br />

together.<br />

Love to me sometimes does not need<br />

too many words, and being able to<br />

spend moments of silence together<br />

is the most precious. What I always<br />

get from my favorite cafäs, An Coffee,<br />

Bi.cycle.up, and La Viet Cafä, is<br />

coziness and a good coffee. I just need<br />

to find that special someone now!<br />

travel<br />

Since an early age, I had always wanted to travel to Bali with that<br />

someone special, and watch sunsets together. Streaks of yellow<br />

and orange luminously fill this beautiful island with a certain charm<br />

and mystery, something of which I had always dreamt about,<br />

something I'm prone to. My wish was finally realized when my<br />

husband and I chose Bali for our honeymoon.<br />

e landed on Bali at around 5 in<br />

the afternoon, just in time to see the<br />

sun go down. I looked out from my<br />

plane's window, and to be honest, my<br />

heart stopped for a moment. The sky<br />

and the sea were woven together in<br />

brilliant hues of yellow and orange,<br />

and the clouds slowly drifted towards<br />

the horizon. We were greeted with<br />

such a breathtaking view.<br />

With an area of 5,633 km2, Bali is a bit<br />

too big to be explored in a few days.<br />

We decided to visit the most common<br />

attractions, and of course, chose a<br />

place where we could watch the most<br />

beautiful sunset.<br />

Later in the evening, my husband and<br />

I took a stroll on Legian Street, the<br />

most vibrant and bustling street in<br />

Bali. We stopped at a fruit juice street<br />

vendor for a drink, and had a small<br />

chat with the owner. He was kind<br />

enough to tell us some interesting<br />

places that we should visit during our<br />

short time in Bali.<br />

Balinese are mainly Hindu, so their<br />

architecture is heavily influenced<br />

by Hindu traditions, especially the<br />

ancient temples, which often project<br />

a mysterious charm to visitors. My<br />

husband is an architect, so he was<br />

quite taken with the beauty of the<br />

Balinese temples. We went to discover<br />

different places, and took as many<br />

photos as we could before heading<br />

back to Uluwatu Temple to capture<br />

one of nature's finest moments.<br />

Perched on top of an outcroping that<br />

overlooks the ocean, Uluwatu is one<br />

of Bali's six most sacred temples. The<br />

temple, which is dedicated to Acintya,<br />

the supreme Hindu god of Indonesia,<br />

looked more charming than ever<br />

under the soft afternoon light.<br />

We followed the trail to Uluwatu<br />

Temple, and made a stop along the<br />

cliff where I thought would be the<br />

ideal place for us to watch the sunset.<br />

As the sun started to go down, the sky<br />

and the sea set the perfect orange and<br />

yellow stage for the blazing sun to<br />

be the only actor in the scene. When<br />

the red circle finally sank into the sea,<br />

everyone including us, could not help<br />

utter out loud our excitement at such a<br />

spectacular show from nature.<br />

The next day, we visited the Garuda<br />

Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park, the<br />

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary,<br />

Dreamland Beach, Ubud Market and<br />

some other temples as suggested by<br />

our driver. We decided to catch the<br />

sunset once more, but at the Tanah<br />

Lot Temple this time.<br />

One of Bali's most iconic sites, Tanah<br />

Lot Temple is situated on top of a<br />

large rock, and is famed for its unique<br />

offshore setting and sunset backdrops.<br />

GETTING THERE<br />

ñ Currently there are no direct flights<br />

from Vietnam to Bali. Travelers must<br />

fly to Singapore, Malaysia or Jakarta,<br />

the capital of Indonesia, before taking<br />

a domestic flight to Bali. There are<br />

a number of airlines available for<br />

you to fly with such as AirAsia, Tiger<br />

Air, Singapore Airlines, and Malaysia<br />

Airlines.<br />

You should select the earliest flight<br />

of the day, and transit where you<br />

need to. If lucky, you might land on<br />

Bali in the late afternoon, and have<br />

yourself some time to rest in the<br />

evening.<br />

Weather<br />

ñ Best time to visit Bali is May<br />

- September because it's dry and<br />

windy. To higher place like Pura<br />

Ulun Danu Batur can be cold. You<br />

should bring a sunscreen, hats, and<br />

sunglasses.<br />

Experience<br />

ñ Many spas in Bali are at affordable<br />

prices, and offer a wide range of<br />

massage packages for visitors. You<br />

should try a local spa for both mental<br />

and physical relaxation. There are<br />

many spas located along the busy<br />

street of Legian, so you can walk<br />

around until you are tired,<br />

and pick any<br />

spa you want<br />

along the<br />

way.<br />

Souvenirs<br />

ñ You should<br />

buy handcrafted items as gifts.<br />

Handcrafted items are quite cheap<br />

(VND20,000 - VND200,000/item),<br />

and usually of reasonably good<br />

quality. You should ask your taxi<br />

drivers or your tour guides where to<br />

buy these items. They will take you<br />

to specialty shops where you can<br />

shop among hundreds of goods, and<br />

have a chance to get the best prices.<br />

Cuisine<br />

ñ Local Balinese foods are hot, spicy,<br />

and contain lots of strong herbs<br />

like curry. If you are not used to<br />

spicy foods, you can choose to<br />

eat Western food such as pizza,<br />

burger, or pasta.<br />

Cost<br />

ñ A short trip (4-5 days) costs<br />

about 13 million VND per person.<br />

Couples can travel to Bali for<br />

unforgettable experiences.<br />

ñ Flights: You can find cheap air<br />

tickets from Tiger Air, AirAsia,<br />

Vietjet, and Jetstar.<br />

ñ 2-3* hotels or homestays in Bali cost<br />

around 400,000-600,000VND/night.<br />

ñ Couples who look for a more<br />

sophisticated experience can choose<br />

resorts in Ubud. The Hanging<br />

Gardens of Bali in Ubud is famous<br />

for its infinity swimming pool, and<br />

breathtaking view of the tropical<br />

forest. Or rent a villa in Seminayak<br />

for a more romantic and private<br />

experience. Resort and villa rates in<br />

Bali are almost the same, if not a little<br />

higher than those in Vietnam.<br />

Things to do for couples in Bali<br />

Carolyn W, Wedding Planner from Malaysia<br />

The Garuda<br />

Wisnu<br />

Kencana<br />

Cultural Park<br />

Bali, with its ancient temples, sacred and<br />

unique charm has left me with nothing<br />

but unforgettable experiences.<br />

At high tide, the temple is surrounded by crashing waves.<br />

But at low tide, we could easily cross the rock base to reach<br />

the temple.<br />

Entering the temple grounds was not allowed, so we just<br />

took a small walk, and waited for the sun to go down. The<br />

rocks were covered in green moss. As I looked out to the<br />

vast blue ocean, I felt a sense of calm that I had never felt<br />

before, and all the while listening to the sound of the waves<br />

crashing against the rocks. Like us, many people came<br />

and waited to capture that last special moment of the day.<br />

Everyone moved closer to the water so as to have the best<br />

view of the beautiful sunset.<br />

As we waited, the sun was finally turning its color, and the<br />

lights slowly diminished. All we could see then was the<br />

shape of the Tanah Lot Temple in the red and yellow light.<br />

The sky darkened, and the sun finally disappeared behind<br />

the horizon. My heart was filled with joy, and I felt so<br />

lucky to capture such a breathtaking moment. Bali, with its<br />

ancient temples, sacred and unique charm has left me with<br />

nothing but unforgettable experiences.<br />

Visitors to this beautiful island are charmed by Bali's unique<br />

heritage and natural wonders. It may have been the sacred<br />

spritiuality of the Balinese, or amazing tropical sceneries of<br />

the white sand, blue sea and lush mountains. For me, it was<br />

the colorful and magical sunsets that inherently took my<br />

breath away.<br />

Unforgettable experiences<br />

✎ Dinner at Jimbaran Beach: This<br />

is a popular choice among couples<br />

who want to enjoy a romantic<br />

setting under the sunset. Dinner<br />

is served on the beach with fresh<br />

seafoods.<br />

✎ Bathe in holy water at Tirta Empul<br />

Temple, one of the most sacred<br />

temples in Bali. The waters spouting<br />

from this temple are believed to<br />

have healing power, both spritually<br />

and physically, which helps fight bad<br />

spirits, and purify the soul, body<br />

and mind.<br />

✎ Romantic Spa is the MUST for<br />

couple to try, Dining at Paddy<br />

✎ I know Vietnam is famous with<br />

coffee, but do try Bali coffee too<br />

when you were there, the taste is<br />

not as strong as Vietnam coffee, it's<br />

smooth & rich, it's also my Must<br />

have when I'm in Bali. Local snacks<br />

like pisang goreng (fried banana<br />

fritter), grilled corn with chilli<br />

powder are tasty too.<br />

✎ Things that I usually buy are<br />

Kou(Ubud) bread spread (fruits<br />

jam, caramel etc), Kou soap (hand<br />

made), Bali Coffee, Sarong &<br />

pants at Sukawati market. assorted<br />

flovour Peanuts (Krishna Market).<br />

✎ Bali has so much to share, to<br />

talk about. It is a wonder island for<br />

everyone, from young to senior<br />

travellers. I took my parents & aunts<br />

to Bali 2 years ago, They enjoy so<br />

much & love it.<br />

✎ If you wish to visit Bali, Do let<br />

me know, I recommend my good<br />

friend Mr Putu (Bali Driver with fair<br />

charge) to shuffle you. He worked<br />

with our wedding projects and<br />

he is highly recommended in our<br />

wedding<br />

EXPERIENCE<br />

THE<br />

SWEETNESS<br />

OF DOING<br />

NOTHING<br />

Valentine's is a season of love. What<br />

is more important in the world than<br />

finding joy in every little thing that we<br />

do? Let us try "Dolce far Niente", an<br />

Italian concept about the sheer joy of<br />

living in the moment.<br />

Text: Bao Khuyen Photos: Tran Quang Dai<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 107

"Dolce far Niente" literally means<br />

"the sweetness of doing nothing" in<br />

Italian. The Italians are known to<br />

place high importance on "me time",<br />

and the comfort of being on your<br />

own. The concept expresses perfectly<br />

what Italians most want from life,<br />

which is the ability to admire life in its<br />

simplicity, and savor every moment<br />

whenever they can.<br />

In Italy, it is common to find men and<br />

woman sitting leisurely at a cafä to<br />

chat, in contrast to the busy lifetyle of<br />

modern Europeans and Americans.<br />

Your heart will melt at the sight of old<br />

couples sitting by the lake to enjoy a<br />

nice day or holding hands lovingly on<br />

the street.<br />

Dolce far Niente was mentioned by<br />

Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat, Pray, Love, and<br />

made famous by the movie of the same<br />

title. The concept struck me deeply, and<br />

I could not help but think about how<br />

amazing it is to enjoy the simple things<br />

in life.<br />

Life is short, as we know, and would<br />

you rather live in a fast lane? Our<br />

hectic lives sometimes compel us to<br />

forget what is really important in life,<br />

and forget to share the most precious<br />

moments with our loved ones. Try to<br />

live as if today was your last.<br />

"DOLCE FAR NIENTE WAS MENTIONED BY ELIZABETH<br />

GILBERT IN EAT, PRAY, LOVE, AND MADE FAMOUS BY THE<br />

MOVIE OF THE SAME TITLE. THE CONCEPT STRUCK ME<br />

DEEPLY, AND I COULD NOT HELP BUT THINK ABOUT HOW<br />

AMAZING IT IS TO ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE.<br />

From leisurely sipping a hot coffee<br />

before going to work, taking a summer<br />

stroll in the park to simply sitting by the<br />

lake to catch a breezy wind, the Italian<br />

way of life is a liberating concept that is<br />

different from the rest of the world.<br />

108<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

How the Italians manage to get their jobs done,<br />

spend time with family, dress to the nines,<br />

perfect their rich culinary art, and all the while<br />

still have time to find simple pleasures in life is<br />

truly an art.<br />

e have to learn that<br />

it is perfectly ok not<br />

to arrive at work on time<br />

unless we have important<br />

things to attend. It is ok to leave<br />

work early, and come back home for a sweet nap.<br />

It is ok to leave all errands behind for once, and<br />

find a street cafä to enjoy a hot latte. It is ok to<br />

visit your favorite pub in the middle of the day or<br />

best yet, find a quiet place to finish that book that<br />

you have been reading. Perhaps though, all in<br />

moderation.<br />

From a certain point of view, the Italians do not<br />

think highly of the American way of life - the "live<br />

fast, eat fast", hours spent at work, and having<br />

only weekends to enjoy, shop at the supermarket<br />

and clean the house. The Japanese way of life is<br />

even worse as they get buried deep in work, and<br />

surrounded by too much technology, which in<br />

turns makes Japan the country with the highest<br />

rate of depression and stress.<br />

The Italians prefer a relaxed and family-centric<br />

lifetyle, and especially the need to nurture and<br />

nourish the soul in the most profound way.<br />

Life, I believe, is to be lived to the fullest. We are<br />

certainly not programed to eat, sleep and work<br />

everyday. Often we find ourselves waking up to<br />

dozens of questions in the morning from "Are we<br />

late?", "What needs to be done today?" to "How do<br />

I meet my deadlines and complete that unfinished<br />

report of mine?". The truth is we just need to open<br />

our eyes, smile, and think, "Today is a brand new<br />

day!" and it should be lived full of love!<br />

THE THRILLING STORY ABOUT A TREASURE HUNT IN BOLIVIA DURING THE INCA PERIOD<br />

WAS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO EXPLORE THIS AMAZING CENTRAL SOUTH AMERICAN<br />

COUNTRY. LONG BEEN KNOWN AS A HIDDEN LAND FULL OF WONDERS, BOLIVIA<br />

GRADUALLY REVEALED ITSELF BEFORE MY EYES.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 121

According to legend, the Inca king, Atahualpa was captured by Spanish conquistadors. The Spaniard Pisarro promised to release the king if the room in which the king<br />

from the royal vaults, and searched across the country for gold, and other jewelery, but the amount was insufficient. The deadline passed, and Pisarro ordered a brutal<br />

11,000 Llamas quickly hid the gold away to unknown places in the Andes.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

In preparation for my trip to South America,<br />

I stumbled on an interesting detail about<br />

this country situated among the forests and<br />

mountains of the Andes. I learnt of a relentless<br />

treasure hunt that has kept people searching<br />

for over four centuries. The hunt stretches<br />

from giant rocky plateaus, to red-sedimentary<br />

lakes and to craggy caves of the Andes, which<br />

was home to the Inca Indians.<br />

Sucre, home to 5,000<br />

dinosaur footprints<br />

Sucre was the first stop in my journey to<br />

explore the mysteries of Bolivia. Located<br />

on the outskirts of Sucre is a nearly vertical<br />

1,200m long and 80m high limestone cliff<br />

where hundreds of dinosaur footprints were<br />

accidentally discovered when the grounds were<br />

being cleared by a local cement company.<br />

During the Cretaceous period, this site was<br />

once a lakeside area that was home to a diverse<br />

population of dinosaurs. The feet of the<br />

dinosaurs sank deep into the soft ground when<br />

it was hot and humid. The footprints hardened<br />

when the area experienced severe droughts,<br />

and then were buried under layers of mud<br />

once the rain returned.<br />

was kept was filled with gold and silver within two months. The royal family took all the treasures<br />

execution of the king. Upon hearing the death of the king, those who carried gold on the back of<br />

Our local guide said the cycle repeated seven<br />

times, hiding layers of footprints. The tectonic<br />

activity then pushed the flat ground up,<br />

forming the almost vertical cliff that we see<br />

today. The Sucre government was beyond<br />

thrilled when this amazing site was found.<br />

They began to build museums, life-size models<br />

of the giant dinosaurs, and an observatory, so<br />

visitors could view the dinosaur tracks. Sucre<br />

is now a historic site with the most dinosaur<br />

footprints in the world.<br />

The world's most spooky Witches' Market<br />

After Sucre, we took a night bus to La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia<br />

- a city that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year for its strange<br />

customs.<br />

Located in the valley of the Andes, and 3,640 meters above sea level, La Paz<br />

is considered the highest capital in the world, and is referred to as the city of<br />

clouds.<br />

The unique geographical position of La Paz reflects its own society. The rich<br />

settle in the lowest part of the valley, where they live and work in villas or<br />

private townhouses. The middle class lives in expensive condominiums near<br />

downtown areas. Located higher up on the hills are the many brick houses,<br />

which are home to the low-income. They somtimes are required to wake up<br />

quite early in the morning to travel downtown for work in order to avoid the<br />

constant traffic jams during office hours.<br />

We wandered into the Witches' Market in La Paz, hoping to explore the<br />

mysteries of the Andean culture. Over hundreds of years, the strange items<br />

sold here have hardly changed in terms of their symbolic spirituality.<br />

My friend freaked out when she saw the many horrendous products displayed<br />

in the shops. With 5-10 Boliviano, visitors can purchase a dried fetus of a<br />

Llama, a South American member of the camel family. These often dangled<br />

in front of shops at the market square. According to the owner of the shop,<br />

Llama fetuses are buried under the foundations of many Bolivian houses as<br />

The market is run in a serious manner,<br />

which deeply reflects the richness in<br />

spirituality of local people.<br />

a sacred offering to the goddess Pachamama or Mother Earth to ensure luck,<br />

health and happiness for family members. The desiccated frogs of the Aymara<br />

are said to bring wealth and prosperity. And the small figures in traditional<br />

Bolivian costumes represent the mighty fortune gods, and are believed to have<br />

a connection with spirits in the other world. Most items sold at the market are<br />

used not only as spells or worship rituals, but also for healing practices.<br />

An unspoken rule when visiting the Witches' Market in La Paz is that we<br />

must always show respect for the locals' spiritual beliefs. The market is run<br />

in a serious manner, which deeply reflects the richness in spirituality of<br />

local people. They often spend considerable amount of time to consult and<br />

help customers find the best amulet or remedy for problems. Any rude or<br />

disrespectful behavior from visitors is not welcomed.<br />

houses and<br />

are built<br />

The largest natural mirror in the world<br />

Next we were headed to the town of Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat at an<br />

elevation of about 4,000 meters above sea level. On our way, we made a stop<br />

at the Train Cemetery, 3 km outside the town, where there is a mass of rusted<br />

and eroded train locomotives.<br />

Once Bolivia's largest transportation hub for trains, it is now a deserted place.<br />

The area was built in the late 19 th century by British engineers living in Uyuni.<br />

The local government believed a modern transportation system at the time<br />

would support the growth of the nation. The trains were particularly useful<br />

in the transportation of minerals, and goods both in and out of the country.<br />

The indigenous people however, saw trains as a cultural invasion, and often<br />

destroyed them. Later, in the 1940s, when resources were scarce, and due to<br />

the collapse of the mining industry, the trains became useless, and were left<br />

to rust and fade out of memory.<br />

We continued our journey and stopped at the village that mines and processes<br />

salt from Salar de Uyuni. Here, salt is harvested in the traditional way.

First, the salt is piled up into small<br />

mounds to evaporate, then dried over<br />

fire, and finally iodine is added before<br />

the packaging process. Visitors are<br />

invited to watch the traditional salt<br />

production process, and can even<br />

purchase small packages of salt as<br />

souvenirs. Interestingly, houses and<br />

hotels in Uyuni are built entirely<br />

of salt to create a unique feel for<br />

visitors, especially couples looking<br />

for a romantic place to stay.<br />

We finally reached our most<br />

anticipated destination when the<br />

sun was highest. Salar de Uyuni salt<br />

flat is located in the southwestern<br />

part of Oruno and Potosi of Bolivia<br />

bordering Chile. Over 40,000<br />

years ago, the area was part of the<br />

enormous prehistoric Lake Minchin.<br />

The lake dried up over time, and was<br />

divided into two smaller lakes, Poopo<br />

and Uru Uru, exposing two huge salt<br />

flats, Salar de Coipasa and Salar de<br />

Uyuni. To this day, Salar de Uyuni<br />

is considered the largest salt flat in<br />

the world, and is 25 times larger than<br />

the well-known salt flat Bonneville in<br />

Utah, USA.<br />

Our car accelerated on the vast<br />

surface of the salt flat, and all we<br />

could see was the sky and the ground<br />

merging into one. The area is dry<br />

during winter months, but filled with<br />

water in summer, turning the whole<br />

landscape into a giant magic mirror.<br />

Surrounding the Uyuni salt flat<br />

are countless lakes, home to the<br />

famous South American flamingos<br />

where they feed and mate. Their<br />

diet include plankton and algae<br />

from the saltwater lakes, which are<br />

responsible for Uyuni's seasonal<br />

color change. Every year in<br />

November, thousands of flamingos<br />

make a long trip back here for<br />

mating, creating a spectecular<br />

scenery of pink lakes.<br />

Surreal structures<br />

of the Incas<br />

The ruined ancient city of Tiwanaku<br />

is located in the southeast of Lake<br />

Titicaca, 72km west of La Paz.<br />

According to archaeologists, the<br />

area surrounding Tiwanaku had<br />

been inhabited since early 1,500 BC.<br />

Most studies are consistent with the<br />

hypothesis that Tiwanaku was built<br />

between 300 and 1,000 BC. Tiwanaku<br />

was at the time, the ritual and<br />

administrative center of the region.<br />

In 1945, Bolivian engineer Arthur<br />

Posnansky used archaeoastronomical<br />

techniques to estimate that Tiwanaku<br />

dated to 15,000 BC. This calculation<br />

technique however, was disregarded<br />

by other archaeologists. Even so, most<br />

archaeologists agree that Tiwanaku<br />

is the most ancient city in the world,<br />

existed even before the legendary<br />

Lake Titicaca.<br />

Tiwanaku's power began to decline<br />

in the 11th century, and completely<br />

collapsed in the 12th century. To this<br />

day, archaeologists have yet to find<br />

an answer to the sudden fall of the<br />

Tiwanaku empire. One thing that they<br />

agree on is that Tiwanaku was once<br />

the capital, as well as the spiritual and<br />

political center of a powerful empire<br />

that lasted for 500 years.<br />

I was stunned standing in front of<br />

the archaeological ruins. The most<br />

impressive thing to me was the<br />

large platform mound around the<br />

central temple Kalasasaya, which is<br />

surrounded by high stone walls, made<br />

of red sandstone rocks that weigh<br />

up to 130 tons each. Archaeologists<br />

are still baffled as to how the ancient<br />

people carried these enormous blocks<br />

from the quarry that was 10km<br />

away. Scattered around the site are<br />

sophisticated structures, made of<br />

green Andesite stones that originate<br />

from the Copacabana Peninsula on<br />

Lake Titicaca. One theory is that these<br />

giant stones, which weigh over 40<br />

tons were transported some 90 km<br />

across Lake Titicaca on reed boats,<br />

then laboriously dragged another<br />

10km to the present location of<br />

Tiwanaku.<br />

A few hundred meters away is the<br />

intriguing site of Puma Punku, a<br />

temple and monument complex of<br />

the ancient Incas. Archaeologists<br />

beliveve what remains today could<br />

only be built by beings with superior<br />

intelligence. The technical finesse<br />

and precision displayed in the<br />

making of those giant stone blocks is<br />

too astounding for words.<br />

128<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

Puma Punku is a temple and monument complex<br />

of the ancient Incas, and archaeologists beliveve<br />

what remains today could only be built by beings<br />

with superior intelligence.<br />

The stone blocks are made of Granite and Diorite stones with a hardness<br />

level that is only second to diamond, almost impossible to cut through using<br />

ancient tools. The stone blocks look like they can only be cut using machines<br />

or laser cutters. The stone blocks were cut in such a precise way that they<br />

fit perfectly into and lock with each other without using any mortar. It is<br />

inconceivable that such fine and large-scale works as those were created<br />

thousands years ago.<br />

Puma Punku is situated at about 4,000 meters above sea level, where trees did<br />

not grow, and there was no wood rollers to carry the blocks while the nearest<br />

quarry was hundreds of kilometers away. Thus, the transport of hundreds of<br />

tons stone blocks to this site was impossible at the time. This is the reason<br />

why so many people believe these giant structures were created by aliens with<br />

advanced technology, or at least made under the direction of these superior<br />

creatures. Archaeologists agree that in terms of complexity and the high level<br />

of technical requirements, the pyramids built by ancient Egyptians required<br />

far simpler techniques than the stone blocks of Puma Punku.<br />

Tiwanaku and Puma Punku remain mysteries that will continue to attract<br />

visitors seeking to admire the ancient civilizations of Bolivia and South<br />

America. These surreal works are believed to be priceless treasures left by<br />

the ancient Incas for future generations. And maybe, this could be where the<br />

treasure of the legendary Atahualpa king was hidden.<br />

for single entry under<br />

30 days.<br />

ñ You must have your<br />

documents ready on<br />

arrival, which include a<br />

return air ticket, a hotel<br />

booking confirmation<br />

in Bolivia, complete<br />

information from<br />

date of birth, gender,<br />

passport number to<br />

passport expiration<br />

date, and particularly a<br />

yellow fever vaccination<br />

certificate.<br />

Get there<br />

ñ There are currently<br />

no direct flights about<br />

Vietnam to Bolivia.<br />

You have to transit in<br />

either Sao Paulo (Brazil),<br />

Bogota (Colombia) or<br />

Lima (Peru). To get<br />

around in Bolivia, you<br />

can use buses. For more<br />

information, visit www.<br />

ticketsbolivia.com or<br />

www.transcopacabanasa.<br />

com.bo. Some buses<br />

often travel solely at<br />

night.<br />

Accommodation<br />

ñ If you want to<br />

experience local life,<br />

choose a homestay or<br />

a lovely guesthouse<br />

in La Laz, Sucre, and<br />

Copacabana. In Uyuni,<br />

stay at a salt hotel for<br />

about 150-200USD/<br />

night.<br />

Food<br />

ñ The cuisine of Bolivia<br />

is made of mostly<br />

"meat" and "potatoes".<br />

The most common<br />

meat is beef, followed<br />

by chicken, llama and<br />

pork. Fish is common<br />

in areas surrounding<br />

Lake Titicaca. Guinea<br />

pigs (cuy) and rabbits<br />

(conejo) are eaten in<br />

rural areas. Visitors to<br />

Bolivia often like to try<br />

the popular grilled cuy.<br />

Bolivia is also famous for<br />

its street food, especially<br />

in busy cities like La Paz<br />

and Copacabana.<br />

ñ Some popular dishes<br />

include Anticucho<br />

(beef hearts grilled on<br />

a skewer, served with<br />

potatoes and spicy corn<br />

sauce), Salchipapa (thinly<br />

sliced sausage fried with<br />

potatoes) or Choripan<br />

(Chorizo sandwich<br />

served with grilled onion<br />

and lots of sauce).<br />

Weather<br />

ñ Most areas in Bolivia<br />

have a dry climate in<br />

winter and are wetter<br />

in summer. Despite the<br />

tropical latitudes, its<br />

location on the Andes<br />

at an average elevation<br />

of over 3,500 meters,<br />

means that the cities<br />

of La Paz and Potosi<br />

are always cool, and<br />

warmer clothing is<br />

necessary for April and<br />

May. Summer in Bolivia<br />

lasts from November to<br />

March with a warmer<br />

and wetter climate.<br />

From April to October<br />

are winter months<br />

with a cooler and drier<br />

temperature.<br />

Stay healthy<br />

ñ Some parts of Bolivia<br />

like La Paz, Potosi, Oruro<br />

and the Lake Titicaca<br />

region are high altitude,<br />

so adequate precautions<br />

against "sorojchi" altitude<br />

sickness should be taken.<br />

Local pharmacies can<br />

provide pills extracted<br />

from natural herbs<br />

to help visitors cope<br />

with the symptoms of<br />

"sorojchi".<br />

ñ In addition, the sun's<br />

ultraviolet rays are up to<br />

20 times stronger than<br />

at sea level. A sun hat,<br />

sunglasses and sun block<br />

are advised.<br />

Up Helly Aa is a fire fesival<br />

that celebrates the influence<br />

of Scandinavian Vikings in<br />

Shetland. The festival involves a<br />

procession of up to thousands<br />

of guizers marching through<br />

the streets in Viking costumes<br />

with axes and torches in<br />

arms, pulling along a replica<br />

of a Viking longship. At the<br />

end of the ritual, the guizers<br />

throw their torches into the<br />

longship and burn it. Once the<br />

longship has burned and the<br />

flames die down, guizers sing<br />

the traditional song "The<br />

Norseman's Home"<br />

before going on to a night<br />

of partying at local pubs,<br />

where they continue<br />

their celebrations<br />

indoor.<br />
