Enjoying life "µ la parisienne"
The three times I have spent
in Paris have each given me
completely different experiences.
The first time, I felt strange with the
thoughts of a tourist. My second
year, I felt more confident and fell
into the rhythm of life here.

Dear valued readers,
July is when the world is fighting hard to
find the champion of World Cup 2018,
but for the Thai people, the survivability
of the junior football team after being
lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang
Non cave is a true victory.
In Travellive's July issue, there is a journey
full of willpower from the couple known
as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the
bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike.
They, and other lonely travelers, are
sometimes considered crazy - but they
don't ride just to go, they also ride to
learn the lesson of capacity and power,
even when all energy seems exhausted ...
Another highlight of this month is
Travellive's realization of an objective:
selecting amongst the new hotels and
resorts beginning operation between
the end of 2017 to early 2018 in order to
create the best list according to special
criteria and with the purpose of helping
readers make the right decision that best
suits their interests.
Getting through hot July, you may want
to leisurely enjoy life "µ la parisienne",
or at least, experience amusing moments
while enjoying a cup of iced tea each
afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi.
Equally interesting is experiencing one of
the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated
by Travellive.
And Travellive's July issue has enough life
rhythm for you!

OWNERS OF CLASSY VILLAS
LIKE A FEVER SPREADING ACROSS THE WORLD,
EXTREMELY LUXURIOUS VILLAS HAVE BECOME
THE NUMBER ONE CHOICE FOR THE SUPER-
RICH. GENERALLY, THE OWNERS OF THESE
VILLAS ARE THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN
THEIR VARIOUS FIELDS. THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN, REAL ESTATE BARONS, AND
TECHNOLOGY GIANTS, SHOWBIZ STARS, AND
EVEN THOSE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN.
POSH OWNERS OF CLASSY VILLAS
They own the extravagant villas whose value is hard to
even fathom. The billionaire Elon Musk, for instance,
has spent tens of millions of dollars purchasing four
adjacent villas in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los
Angeles. Other billionaires such as Larry Page and Bill Gates
also prove their class with their high-end choices.
That's the story of the world. Undeniably this trend is spreading
throughout the world and it has significant impact on big urban
areas, especially in South East Asia, including Vietnam.
The real estate market in Vietnam has been flourishing, however,
not from mainstream sources, but rather by a distinctive trend.
The owners of luxurious villas have greatly contributed to this
market's share. Regardless, the status of each period, of prosperity
or decline, the real estate market always sees its owners on top.
They do not follow the choices of the masses but stay diverse in
their assets.
According to Knight Frank, the world's leading real estate
consultant company, the impressive growth of super-rich people
in Asia could be strengthened by several countries, including
Vietnam. It is these super-rich individuals who often have the
desire to affirm their class. So, what do the corporations that
supply luxury villas and apartments have to offer to this special
market?
HIGH-END CHOICES WITH EVERGREEN
2018 appears to be a booming year for the cooperation between
construction groups and management corporations. TNR
Holdings Vietnam has joined hands with investor Tai Nguyen to
44
TRAVELLIVE

launch the EverGreen project; the most notable project
is the sales opening of 30 City Villas in the super-luxury
line. These villas meet every strict standard of design,
architecture, material, space, and living environment.
The introduction of City Villas aims at satisfying each
demand of the super-rich eyeing the perfect villa. Aside
from intricate design, living space and environment
are considered the most significant factors. It is a vivid
vertical transformation, completely changing the old
concept of typical villas. Each villa features luxurious and
elegant interiors in the Art Däcor style, equipped with
state-of-the-art facilities. Residents can enjoy an array of
utilities and services offered for the first time in Vietnam
such as a 5-star marina, Marina Bird's Nest restaurant,
central park, smart underground transport system, as
well as high-end services to relax and enjoy the high-class
life at the City Club House.
In addition, City Villas is highlighted by a Panorama
swimming pool connecting each villa, removing all
boundaries of privacy and elevating it to an entirely new
level in the community of successful residents.
Apart from the excellent harmony between the elements
of architecture, art, and utility, the high value of City
Villas is the starting point for prosperity and a life of
luxury. The villas themselves are more awe inspiring in
person than they are on paper.
Owning a peaceful place in the City Villas is a desire
of successful people who have a sophisticated aesthetic
and lead unique lifestyles; those who value prestige and
personal brand. Relaxing and enjoying life in EverGreen's
super-luxurious villas is a way of affirming one's status,
success and long-term prosperity.

Kyrgyzstan, the fourth Central Asian country in our cycling journey from Paris to Vietnam,
seduced us right away for being so friendly. We have never crossed a border with such ease
as we did in Kyrgyzstan. No questioning but with broad smiles and waving hands the border
control officers welcomed us and our steel horses.

Children
are all
naughty
and lovely
no matter
where they
are from
Clenching teeth
and pushing hard
on the pedals, we
stubbornly moved
forward. We
succeeded to reach a
home stay, to have
a cold beer when
the sky finally tore
apoart and poured
torrents of water
down on the earth.
NARROWLY ESCAPING
THE HEAVY RAIN
When we arrived in Kyrgyzstan, the
landscape changed 180 o . No longer
were there arid mountain ranges,
nor immense treeless plateaus; but
luxurious green from grass and trees,
murky red from water rumbling
at the foot of the mountain. On
the mountainside big yaks with
their proud horns lumbered about;
euphoric horses, manes whipping
romped on the grass in the wind...
It's bursting with life here.
Much to our surprise, we did not
have much time to embrace this new
change as we had to cycle onward at
full speed. Heavy dark clouds, like a
looming threat, followed us across
the border.
If we didn't reach Sary Tash - the
first village 20 km from the frontier
- before these clouds ripped the sky
asunder and began pouring water,
we would have passed an indelible
moment. It felt like the everlasting
slopes of Tajikistan had drained away
all of our strength and the ferocious
headwind was going to beat us.
However, clenching teeth and pushing
hard n the pedals, we stubbornly
moved forward. We succeed to reach
a home stay, to havea cold beer when
the sky finally tore apoart and poured
torrents of water down on the earth.
Once again, we learnt a lesson
about our own capacity, about our
willpower: When you think you can't
take it anymore, when needed, you are
still able to unfold enough strength
to cross an another river, to move an
another mountain...
And here, as in Turkey, Iran,
Uzbekistan and lots of other places,
Aigul, the young homestay owner, was
surprised to see men washing clothes
and even helping her carry the water
home from streams. "Kyrgyz men
after work just eat and drink wine"
she confided, rubbing her two-year-old
son's head while he, sparkling eyed,
hugged her legs. We hope that our
small amount of money will help to
improve her daily life.
Like Tajikistan, much of Kyrgyzstan's
territory is mountainous and full
of pot-holed roads, which sums our
journey up in one word "struggle".
The daily routine is to bend our back,
trying to climb passes to passes under
the burning heat near 50 o C, with a
bent body sweating like a bath. We
didn't even have time to think about
wiping off our sweat. All we cared
about was jamming on the brake and
preparing our legs to stop in time,
especially when both our bikes and
our bodies bounced on the way down
the rough roads. Luckily for us, the
green and peaceful scenery helped us
to forget our exhaustion.
Here, the pine forests cover the
mountains interspersed with
sprawling green meadows stretching
across the horizon bringing to mind
images of Austria and Switzerland.
And it's also here that rosy-cheeked
children, smiling from their eyes,
ran out of their "yurts" - the symbolic
nomadic tent - waving, pulling us back
to reality.

Here come the golden blooming
sunflowers sway under the sun. And
the horses, graceful and brave, gallop
on the vast green prairie, their toned
muscles throb under their silken
brown skin, their hooves thump
louder and louder. Perhaps it is
because my zodiac sign is the horse;
I was always touched by such images,
these eloquent demonstrations of the
free life we all pursue.
MEET-UP WITH A
"CRAZIER" BIKER
On our way to Osh
- the second largest
city after the capital
Bishkek, in southern
Kyrgyzstan - we
met a South Korean boy riding in the
opposite direction with the intention
to be the the first Korean to conquer
the plateau of Pamir (Tajikistan) on
a Brompton folding bike. With the
memories of our troubles on Pamir
Street fresh in our hearts, we looked
at him with rolling eyes, quietly
thinking, "What a weird idea! Has he
got enough strength? Maybe he will
have to push harder on that bike"...
Now you see, when people listen to
any of your ideas they think you are
crazy (as we often heard about our
own bike riding plan). It's good to
know that there is always someone
crazier than you out there...
We always ask the caravan to
send greetings and necessary text
messages to those pedaling behind
us, and sometimes we get news from
our friends ahead of us. In the 21 st
century, this way of communication
is still very useful and effective, in
part because of the cohesive and
friendly community developed by the
road bikers. Thanks to this form of
communication, once we arrived in
Osh, we went to the Baiana homestay
- a place almost exclusively for
pedestrians where the backyard has
been turned into a garage, the kitchen
requisitioned for eaters focused on
their bowls of salad, where green
vegetables trays and fruit baskets are
set out for the weeks ahead.
Jalal-Abad, the third largest city, is
about two days of biking from Osh.
When we arrived, tired from the
dangers of the Kyrgyz street thugs,
we decided to leave the smooth large
road for the smaller bumpier one.
As planned, we crossed Kazarman
and reached Song-Kul Lake, before
stopping at Kara-Koo on the famous
Issyk Kul lake. In order to avoid the
cars and trucks from nearly hitting
us at 20 cm away, we had to create
our own "weapon": we attached a
long stick behind the bike creating
a necessary distance of safety, then
we tied a brilliant colored rope with
a small rock at the end. Strangely,
it was the little stone that made the
drivers less "aggressive" when they
passed us.
Aside from the drivers, most Kyrgyz
people, though not as warm-hearted
as the Turks or Uzbeks, are quite
hospitable. Even when we chose
quiet places to set our tent up, we
still received bottles of hot freshly
squeezed milk, bread, cheeses and
fruits. They were mostly brought by
the children; each of them defined
by their distinctive characteristics:
decayed teeth, sunburns, naughtiness
or shyness... but all of them had a
similar look with their muddy faces
and bright eyes and each were sent by
their parents to bring us presents.
At times, we asked to pitch our tent
in the backyards of families. To our
surprise, we would receive sudden
refusals: "Why do you want to put the
tent in the yard when you can sleep in
86

Field of

the house?", or "Why do you refuse to have dinner with us when we
have already cooked for you?" Once, when I was standing absentminded,
a nearby fruit vendor picked up a big bag full of fruit and
handed it to me. Turns out, we had met him a few days earlier and
we had to work very hard to convince him to let us pay for the two
big watermelons he wanted to gift us. The nomadic hospitality is the
highlight of Kyrgyz culture, which always strikes visitors. Although
it has been apart from the Soviet Union since 1991, most people
here still speak Russian (aside from the Kyrgyz and minority Uzbek
languages), so I was able to communicate with them a little.
With a vast natural landscape and hospitable foreign traveler
policies, Kyrgyzstan is increasingly welcoming to visitors. Unlike us,
struggling up a ferocious hill on "iron horses", are the smiling faces
of tourists on jeeps, motorcycles or the bikes rumbling downhill.
Aside from biking, trekking or horseback riding for a few days are
also favorite activities here.
Nearly two weeks after leaving Osh, we arrived in Bishkek, the
capital, and our last stop in Central Asia. Bishkek is an important
"hub" in the cycling community for relaxing, resting and preparing
for the next journey. Just over 3 weeks isn't much time but it was
enough to create lasting feelings and to fall in love with the country
and people of Kyrgyzstan. See you again!
VISA
‣ 45 countries qualify for
a 60-day travel period to
Kyrgyzstan without a visa.
More information can be
found at www.kgembassy.
org/en under the "Consular
and Visa Section".
‣ You can fly to Bishkek
with Aeroflot (with a stop
in Moscow), Turkish Airlines
(with a stop in Istanbul) or
China Southern (with two
stops, in Guangzhou and
Urumqi).
BEST TIME TO VISIT
‣ Kyrgyzstan follows a
continental climate with hot
summers and cold winters.
The climate is divided into
different regions. The high
and dry weather of the west,
the temperate weather in
the northern mountains. The
higher you go, the colder the
weather becomes.
TRANSPORTATION
‣ You can rent a jeep
to explore Kyrgyzstan or
contact a tour operator for
a motorbike or downhill
bike tour. Public transport
and long-distance bus
services in Kyrgyzstan are
very limited. You should
only choose this means if
you are a seasoned traveler
and not bound by time.
‣ If you have a lot of
time and want a real life
experience, you can buy a
donkey and roam all the way
through Kyrgyzstan.
SHOPPING
‣ You can easily find many
unique items.
Shops in Kyrgyzstan are
not only full of unique and
diverse items, but they also
contain products made in
Kyrgyzstan. You can find
anything from handicrafts
made from a variety of plants
to distinctive outfits and
more. You can find these
items at many souvenir shops
or in traditional markets.
ACCOMMODATION
‣ Traveling tents, or
homestays: In large cities, you
will easily find motels and
hotels. Around popular areas
like Song Kul Lake or Issyk
Kul, there are shuttle services
that pick you up and take
you to nomadic tents (yurts).
You can always set up a
tent or sleep at the home
of a local.
DESTINATION
‣ Hu Song Kul and Issyk
Kul: Apart from natural
sightseeing on the roads,
two famous rest spots in
Kyrgyzstan are Song Kul lake
and Issyk Kul lake. These
lakes are also the starting
point for many long journeys
by horse.
‣ Ala Archa National Park:
If you like trekking, you can
go to Ala Archa National
Park near Bishkek, or try your
hand at Tien Shan on the
Chinese border with peaks
above 7000 m such as Khan
Tengri or Podeba.
‣ Sulaiman-Too Sacred
Mountain: Located near the
city of Osh, this mountain is
a UNESCO World Heritage
site. It is not possible to go
to Kyrgyzstan without visiting
this sacred mountain.
‣ Tash Rabat: A snowcapped
mountain with
15 th century houses still
preserved today.
‣ World Nomad Games:
If you're lucky, you can
experience the World
Nomad Games, held every
two years in the summer.
This year, the competition
will take place between
September 2 to 8.
CUISINE
‣ Kyrgyz food is not that
varied but has similarities to
other Central Asian countries
with manti, salty cheese, or
fatty sheep meat. A speciality
worth tasting is "kumis",
made from fermented horse
milk. In our experience, you
should not drink "kumis" after
it's been out in the hot sun
for a few days.
TOUR YOU CAN BOOK
‣ You can refer to Beetours
Vietnam as an authorized
dealer for airfares to
Kyrgyzstan by international
airlines.

Every time I think about my trip, Morocco always
appears in my mind as a bright and colorful painting.
Morocco in full color: deep blue of the Mediterranean
Sea, yellow orange of the Sahara Desert, grey green of
dusted dates, red of the shielings, white as the snow
on the Atlas ranges and indigo like a Berber scarf.

Ups & downs of an ancient capital
If someone were to ask me where
at in Morocco I enjoyed the most,
without hesitation I would choose Fez.
I have always given more affection to
the majestic natural scenery of high
mountains, wide seas, long rivers,
rarely favoring big cities. But I cannot
help falling in love with Fez. This
city is so special; fluctuating between
the traditional, the seriousness of
an ancient capital, its boisterous
characters of the souk (market) and its
idyllic French styled villas.
If Marrakesh is busy and bustling,
attractive as a young man full of
life, Fez is a mature and seductive
man full of hidden wisdom. The
once-oldest capital of housing the
most dynasties, Fez has witnessed
the country's ups and downs over
thousands of years. It was not until
1912 that the French-Morocco treaty
was signed in Fez, bringing Morocco
to the list of French colonies. This
treaty also moved the capital to Rabat.
Despite the change of capitals, Fez is
still the center of art, culture and the
spirit of the kingdom.
After four days in a bouncy car
and struggling on the back of a
camel outside the Sahara Desert, I
was back to civilization. Through
the car window, I felt as if I were
travelling back in time through
three completely different eras of
the city. The first era is the new Dar
Dbibegh, built by the French in
the colonial period, a harmonious
combination between traditional
Moroccan and modern European
architecture. Then to the FÃs el-
Jedid, the "new" administrative
center, beginning in the 13 th century
under the Marinid dynasty. Finally,
I walked into a completely different
world: FÃs el-Bali, which covers the
medina (fortress city); the oldest town
established under the 8th-century
Idrisid dynasty.
Starting a new day on a high tower
My day in Fez typically began before
dawn when I was awakened by the
adhan - the Islamic call to prayer.
From the highest tower, I could
clearly hear the adhan, spreading to
every corner of the city in oscillating
tones - wavering from high to low.
Muslims pray five times a day, every
day: dawn, noon, midday, sunset and
one hour after sunset. They gather in
mosques, Islamic schools or pray in
private, always facing the direction
of Mecca.
In the early morning I walked to Bab
Boujloud, the most special gate of
Fez, connecting FÃs el-Jedid to the
old town of FÃs el-Bali. This place
is called "Blue Gate" because of the
color of the meticulously decorated
bricks, covering both sides of the
wall: one face in cobalt blue - the
color of Fez, the other in green - the
color of Islam.
Fez's medina is often referred to as
a cryptic labyrinth. It is the largest
pedestrian street in the world with
a population three times larger than
the main island of Venice, Italy. In
the medina, motorized vehicles are
banned entirely due to the many
stairs running up and down the
narrow streets, only a few dozen
centimeters wide. The walls of Fez
encompass invaluable cultural and
architectural treasures. In an area of
a few square kilometers, there are
countless gates, palaces, mosques,
Islamic schools, and fountains,
among some of the best preserved in
the enchanting Arab world, seducing
wanderers who love to explore, much
like myself.

Leaving Bab Boujloud, the two main
streets lead me deep into the medina,
where all the magnificent Spanish-
Islamic architecture (hispanomoresque)
is located. There may not
be a place on earth as beautiful as
the madrasa (Islamic school) in Fez.
Each madrasa is a collection of prayer
rooms and dormitories covering the
four sides of a large and quiet yard.
The walls are decorated with mosaic
patterns or sophisticated and elegant
calligraphy. Standing in the solitude
of the madrasa, the chaotic noise of
the market melted away.
Fez's heart lies at the center of the
medina, where the tomb of Moulay
Idris II - the second king of the Idrisid
dynasty and founder of the city. Next
to the mosque is Al Quaraouiyine, the
oldest Islamic university in the world,
founded in 859. However, like all
other Moroccan tombs and mosques
(except Hassan II in Casablanca) Fez
does not allow non-Muslims inside.
Because of this I could only stand
outside, where I admired the fine
carvings elaborately decorated on the
massive gate and entrance.
LOST IN ALLEYWAYS
I left the big attractions to wander
between the narrow-crooked alleyways
and little squares, where I heard
the echoes of weaving looms and
the light thud of wood carving from
Nejjarine Square or the clink of the
blacksmith's hammer from
Seffarine Square.
The walls of Fez encompass invaluable

At dawn, the
echo of the
call to prayer
begins from
the tallest
tower in the
city, spreading
everywhere
Fez is well known for its local specialties and exquisite handicraft
products. Fez's towels are woven by a variety of yarn, from
colorful dyed wool to cool silk and cactus yarn. Throughout
the city, we couldn't help but be attracted by the shops with
traditional pottery in cobalt blue patterns. Plates, large bowls,
flower vases are all decorated with specific patterns and hung on
the shelf or wall, inviting tourists to take them home.
I continued to lose myself in the colorful and appetizing markets.
Attarine souk (market) sells henna and spices, Tillis souk sells
carpets, Chemaïne square sells dates and nuts, Chrabliyines
souk sells babouche - a traditional Moroccan shoe. I could spend
the whole day walking around the Old Quarter just to see the
sparkling Arabian lights, cherishing the lovely handmade leather
bags, or sniffing fresh spices as they drift across the small alleys.
Spices are an indispensable element of Moroccan cuisine.
Cinnamon, capsicum, chili powder, coriander seeds, ras-elhanoui...
waft in the air to tickle your senses.
Fez has a long tradition of tanning and the largest tannery is
Chouwara, located near Seffarine. Here you can go up to the
balcony of the shops surrounding the workshop and watch
craftsmen tan leather with a medieval technique. The owner
hands each person a sprig of mint to quell the foul odor of the
coloring tanks.
Afternoon is the best time to get away from the crowded medina
and view Fez from above. As Fez is located on the plateau of
SaÔss, sandwiched between the Rif and Atlas ranges, there are
many beautiful hills with magnificent views. This time of day is
also when locals begin to gather pieces of leather that have dried
on the sunny and windy hillsides, packing them onto donkeys to
be transported to the tanneries. From above, all the commotion
of the ancient citadel evaporated. The golden sunshine peacefully
shimmered down the minarets (towers).
itinerary
‣ Currently, there is no direct flight from
Vietnam to Morocco; transit must be made
through a third country, such as France
or Qatar to get to the Moroccan city of
Casablanca. From Casablanca, you can start
your journey in Morocco and travel to Fez
by train or bus. Morocco has an excellent
public transit system and travelers can easily
buy tickets online or directly at the station
without any obstacles.
Visa
‣ 70 countries qualify for a 90-day
travel period without a visa in Morocco.
Information can be found on the Moroccan
Embassy website of your country.
Best time to visit
‣ From October to May is the perfect
time to visit Morocco. If you intend to
go for a desert tour, you should wear
warm clothes.
Food
‣ Moroccan cuisine is delicious and
diverse. Traditional restaurants often offer
tajin, couscous, pastilla or lamb/beef stews.
In the souk, there is a great variety of grilled
skewers. Morocco is a Muslim country, as
such, people here do not eat pork.
‣ Breakfast at the inn included a variety of
breads, cornmeal pancakes, accompanied
by jams, honey, butter, mint tea, and
delicious fresh orange juice.
‣ Moroccan pastries are also quite
delectable (but very sweet). Sometimes
they are as small as a thumb but carry a
heavy buttery scent when served with a
cup of mint tea.
Tips
‣ In Fez, you can hire a tour guide for a
half day or one full day. They will introduce
you to the culture, architecture, customs,
and can especially help you to bypass
enclosures of thieves and fortune-tellers.
The people of Fez do not like to be
photographed, but if you are with a guide,
they often become more comfortable.
‣ In the morning, the guides gather in Bab
Boujloud, and each typically has a license
card. Tour prices range from 10 - 12USD/
half day for 2 guests.
Estimated costs
‣ In Morocco, you can easily book
accommodations through popular booking
websites. The price is quite reasonable, for
example, a double room in a 2-star hotel
costs about 50 - 60 USD/night, or about
30 USD/night for a double room in a
popular motel.
‣ Meals in Morocco often cost around
10 - 20 USD/meal in a nice restaurant
with pleasant decorations, and it is much
cheaper than in the souks. The cost of
traveling in Morocco is about 80 - 90 USD/
person/day (excluding airfare). If you prefer
to travel like a backpacker, the cost can
range between 60 - 70 USD/day.

Crossing the Bolivian-Peruvian border by road, we began
our journey of exploring the Inca civilization through
the legendary Andean Baroque Route to Machu Pichu, a
heritage site packed full of mysteries.

A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON IN CUSCO
Starting from the small city of Puno, we passed through many areas bearing the stamp of the ancient Inca
before we arrived in Cusco on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Leaving the boisterous and hectic bus station,
we headed straight to the Munaycha Casa hotel in the heart of the old town. This hotel, located on a
primary school campus near the central square, was small yet attractive. Crossing through the school yard
to reach the hotel door we entered cozy rooms straddling a quiet courtyard; a flower-filled garden, woodpaneled
verandas, and a small rooftop dining room overlooked the endearing old city.
After checking-in at the hotel, our group eagerly walked to the square at sunset. We fell in love with Cusco almost
immediately at Plaza de Armas square: a spacious plaza with fountains, chairs, and beautiful light poles. The
square, surrounded by two-story houses adorned with arched terraces, works in harmony with the Roman Gothic
architecture of the high steeped Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin located in the center, creating
an elegant stage.
Peru is particularly famous for its distinctive cuisine; Peruvian chefs skillfully combine world dishes with local
techniques to create uniquely Peruvian restaurants. Nearly all of the top-rated restaurants are located in the Plaza
de Armas area, in addition to American franchises such as McDonalds and Starbucks. The area around the square
is also filled with various souvenir shops and travel agents.
TRAVELLIVE

The Inca rail, equipped
with a glass-enclosed
carriage, allows
passengers to take
stunning photos of
the mountains while
inhaling the fresh
Incan air.
When I originally planned for
this trip I was so fascinated by
the legendary Inca Trail that I
prepared my luggage for a long trek
with hiking shoes, clothing and
other specialty items. However,
for unexpected reasons, we had
only four days in Cusco and the
surrounding areas; not nearly
enough time to thoroughly enjoy
this world heritage site.
LEGENDARY ROUTE ON INCA RAIL
The Inca Rail train departed at 5:30
am from Poroy station, about 30
minutes by taxi from our hotel.
Sitting in a car with wide windows
on the ceiling, we happily enjoyed
panoramic views as we cruised
through the Inca archaeological
sites, snow ranges and glittering
rows of trees. Red leaves floated
atop the winding river that cut the
road in two. Along the two sides of
the road were wide plateaus each
with llamas grazing on grass; in the
distance, snowy mountains appear
as if in a dream, a truly poetic scene.
The legendary rail continued to
unfold beautiful scenes after each
mountain pass much like photos
flipping through an album. The Inca
Rail, equipped with a glass-enclosed
carriage, allows passengers to take
stunning photos of the mountains
while inhaling the fresh Incan air.
The Aguas Calientes train station
is located in a nice little town with
restaurants, hotels, and souvenir
shops full of tourists. In the middle
of the town is a small church with
a lovely flower garden. Because the
town is 1500 m lower than Cusco,
the impact of the altitude isn't felt
here. There are two ways to get to
Machu Picchu from here: some small
trekking roads that lead straight to
the top of the mountain, or a shuttle
bus from a private company that
transports tourists up the mountain.
Gazing down from our gathering
point, the trains in the station
looked like scattered matches, while
the winding road along the cliffs
reminded me of the mountains in
northwestern Vietnam.
Our guide is an elderly man, he
appears to us as a perfectionistic
and is incredibly dedicated to his
job. Unlike other guides who talk
about the grandeur, techniques or
the mysteries of the "Lost City",
ours spoke in depth about each
architectural detail and its meaning.
Pisnou, our guide, is as passionate
about Machu Picchu as if it were
his native home. He said everyone
knows how famous and important
Old Mountain (Machu Picchu) is in
the treasure of world heritage sites
but not everyone recognizes that the
"Lost City" was often referred to as
Vilcabamba. He discussed the detail
of Mother Earth in the concept of the
"Three-Window Room" building as
well as the ideas behind the "Temple
of the Sun", he pointed out the
significant aspects in the so-called
Stonehenge of Machu Pichu.
TRAVELLIVE 105

Closing my eyes and letting my
imagination flow with the wind - I found
myself fortunate enough to be immersed
in such a wonderful ancient place on a
rare beautiful sunny day....
106
Taking us through the residence of
Emperor Pachacuti, this little man
guided us through the living room,
the bedroom, the toilet and the
archaeological area presumed to be
the dining room, insisting that it was
a small garden. Through each stone
door he pointed us to the direction
of the rain and sunlight throughout
the seasons of the year to showcase
the sophistication and intelligence of
the ancient Inca. We could hear the
pride in his voice when he declared
that the ancient Inca Empire was the
largest empire in the world, spanning
six South American countries, noting
that it was even larger than the Roman
Empire.
EMOTIONS FOR THE INCA EMPIRE AND
MACHU PICCHU
Machu Picchu is not
as majestic as I had
imagined, but the integrity
of the site is admirable.
We had a chance to tour
the area drainage system, the water
supply network for the terraced fields
flowing from an ever-running stream,
the amazing staggered stone walls and
the intricate Inca trail system that ran
through the entire Inca Empire.
Our guide continually repeated that
good fortune was upon us. According
to him, November through April is
the season of heavy rains; to have
a beautiful sunny day was quite
fortunate, even in the dry season. We
followed the footsteps of our guide
so passionately that we forgot to take
pictures. Our minds were stuck on
questions such as "Why do the seven
windows of the temple represent the
TRAVELLIVE
seven rainbow colors?", "Why do the
temple walls of the mountain have so
many engravings?" and "Why is this
wall compared to the mourning wall
of Jerusalem?".
Pisnou said Machu Picchu may not
be as ancient as other world heritage
sites but it is full of many mysteries
that have puzzled scientists for many
years. Machu Picchu's place in the
history of the world is quite unique; it
contains a civilization that coincides
with the ancient Egyptian period, the
relationship it holds with Huayna
Picchu, and the many questions
it contains concerning ancient
intelligence.
Each entry ticket to the heritage site
allows two visits, so after the guide
had left, we returned to the entrance
and climbed up the Sun Gate just
before the closing hour where we
contemplated the far off Inca Bridge
and took pictures of the lovely llamas
against the backdrop of the ancient
Incan ruins.
The short time from dawn to dusk
brought us many emotions to ponder
over. Resting on the stone Incan
house with the thatched-roof, we
found ourselves talking to an old
Australian couple who had to take
cardiac medicine to climb here while
we watched sunset drop over the rows
of food stalls and the far off terraced
fields. Looking at the mountain range,
I felt as if I saw a man's face looking at
the sky within it.
Closing my eyes and letting my
imagination flow with the wind - I
found myself fortunate enough to be
immersed in such a wonderful ancient
place on a rare beautiful sunny day...
I am just over 30 and have no need
for cardiac medicine. However, I do
have a little bit of regret for failing to
go trekking on the legendary road,
though my trip was compensated
by the emotional train ride to this
amazing place.
The regret of one who knows that
time is flying... and one of her most
wonderful days of a lifetime is about
to come to an end...
Journeys
‣ Currently there are many airlines operating
flights departing from Vietnam to Lima (capital of
Peru): All Nippon Airlines (ANA), Qatar Airways,
Asiana Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Korean Air,
United Airlines, Delta Airlines... If you plan to
depart from Hanoi, ANA is a great choice, and if
you depart from Saigon, Qatar Airways is an ideal
choice.
Best time to visit
‣ You should travel to Peru between May
and August. The weather is quite cool; the
temperature is not too high during the day and
not too low at night. Most importantly, you will
not be bothered by the rain.
Transports
‣ You can travel to other destinations in
Peru by bus, taxi, rental car or on foot. My
recommendation is by bus due to the ease of
the bus system here. Moreover, the low cost
and convenience make it incredibly easy to reach
interesting destinations in Peru.
Cuisine
‣ Peruvian cuisine is quite diverse and varied;
products such as potatoes and corn are the
main ingredients creating delicious, appealing
dishes. The coast of Peru is well-known for its
seafood, including Ceviche Salad. A few must-try
dishes: Pachamanca soup, grilled meat brochette
(Anticuchos)... or other famous Peruvian beverages
such as Caliente White Rum, Coca Tea, Matä de
Coca, Chicha de jora corn beer, fresh juices and
Cafe Pasado.
Experiences not to be missed
‣ Ancient city: Inca culture center: Machu Picchu,
Cusco and the valley between the Sacred desert,
Lake Titicaca (lake on the Andes range), Piura,
home to the most beautiful beaches in Peru and
hometown of "The Old Man and the Sea", the
small beautiful city on the Andes- Chachapoyas
range, the White City of Arequipa, the Colca
Canyon, the Amazon river, the Oxapampa and
Huacachina villages, the Presidential Palace of Peru
and the Santo Domingo church.

lifestyle
Text: Kieu Giang - Photos: Pierre Semere
The three times I have spent
in Paris have each given me
completely different experiences.
The first time, I felt strange with
the thoughts of a tourist taking
in the splendidness of Paris.
Then, I became more familiar
to the Parisian lifestyle thanks
to my native boyfriend during
my second year and finally, I
felt more confident and fell into
the rhythm of life here during
my third year, in the role of a
daughter-in-law in a French
family.
TRAVELLIVE 113

Let's eat! ("Ä table!")
The media has wasted
plenty of ink on
French food. But, in
my eyes, Parisians in
real life are different
than those at the 5 star hotels. They
are gourmand yet very dainty, taking
hours at the cafeteria restaurant
across the street. During these
moments, they discuss current affairs
while sipping wine, puffing cigarettes
and enjoying the sun.
A typical day in the life of French
people starts with breakfast at home,
in a cafä or just a sandwich bought in
a cafä or a bakery as to not arrive late
to work. But the ideal time for me is
the moment my mother-in-law makes
a flavoured coffee jug then prepares
another pot of jasmine or rose tea,
followed by a preparation of a set of
silver ware with cups and porcelain
plates so the whole family can eat
bread with jam, butter, or caramel
together. A sense of peace that is
most impressive.
Otherwise, we will go out to breakfast
at our favorite Le Bouquet d'Alesia
cafä. It's cold outside; inside we are
eating hot crispy croissants with
chocolate filling, sipping fresh natural
orange juice without sugar or ice and
watching people passing by. This joy
makes me feel extremely comfortable.
Paris in May is an ideal time for
weather: neither too hot nor too cold.
The cool air easily makes people feel
hungry. Speaking of lunch, I always
recall the stuffed mussels cooked
with butter, white wine and parsley,
accompanied by crispy bread served
at Au Pied de Cochon, which literally
means "pig's feet", a rather funny
name but it is actually associated with
the specialities of the restaurants made
from every part of the pig.
Parisians are gourmand yet very dainty,

For the gloomy Parisian days, I
love to ask my husband to have hot
Japanese ramen for lunch at Kintaro.
TRAVELLIVE

In addition to low fat ramen noodles with pork, sticks
of crab, seaweed and dried bamboo, which both smells
good and make me feel excited, my husband's choice
are fried rice with shrimp and eggs and especially
gyoza (Japanese style dumplings) which are also very
delicious.
Currency
‣ You should exchange Euros in
Vietnam or use an international Visa
card. Please check with your issuing
bank in Vietnam to find out the
charges when paying by card abroad.
Visa
‣ Visa to France is a Schengen visa
that is applied to 26 countries in this
area. You can proceed to apply for a
visa by visiting the official website of
TLSContact - the authorized agency
of the French Embassy in Hanoi and
the French Consulate in Ho Chi Minh
City on the visa application issues
at the link: http://fr.tlscontact.com.
Please take note that if your trip goes
through many European countries,
you will choose the location of your
longest stay to apply for your visa.
US passport holders do not currently
need a visa to travel to France or the
Schengen area.
After lunch, we often walk to our familiar cafä to rest
in the midday heat. Cafä De La Mairie is a favorite
address of many Frenchmen, including my husband.
From here, we have a view right in front of the Saint-
Sulpice church - the filming location of The Da Vinci
Code. Sitting under the shades of Cafä De La Mairie, with a blue sky above,
between sips of hot chocolate or iced tea, you can simply gaze around to see the
beauty of life.
One day, we were delighted to discover Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole, located in a
small street nearby the Notre-Dame Cathedral thanks to a dinner invitation of
my brother-in-law Thomas. The restaurant dates back to the 16 th century and is
perfectly preserved as it existed then. The later the night is, the more guests that
come to the restaurant. Once dinner is finished, everyone leaves tipsy to walk in
the cold wind as the church bell rings out eleven o'clock pm.
Into the art world
Speaking of Paris, we cannot forget to mention about the city of art.
On my two most recent visits to Paris, I came to to visit Les Deux Plateaux/
Colonnes de Buren (The pillars of Buren) - a contemporary artwork installation
which was the origin of many discussions since its inception in 1986. Named
after artist Daniel Buren it has 260 black-and-white striped pillars, creating an
astonishing contrast.

Best time to visit Paris
The ideal time to travel to Paris is
from April to June or from October to
early November when the weather is
dry and cool.
The period between December and
February is not a bad time either.
Although the weather is quite cold,
you can experience the Christmas
celebration when all the streets, parks
and shopping centers light up, perhaps
even under snow.
Must-try delicious dishes
‣ If possible, you should try as many
dishes as possible in Paris as these
experiences are worth it. However,
there are some traditional French
dishes you should not miss such as:
Magret de Canard: Made from
fattened duck liver. The meat is
sweeter, more delicious, and fatter
than other types of duck.
C´te de Boeuf: A roast beef dish
served with sea salt, thyme and French
fries. There are also restaurants that
serve this dish along with pepper
sauce, or cheese sauce accompanied
with salad and vegetables.
Mussels are cooked with butter,
white wine and parslly, and served
with French fries or seafood such as
live oysters accompanied with lemon,
butter and bread.
Tips
‣ The cafäs and restaurants you
should visit when coming to Paris:
Le Bouquet d'Alesia cafÈ (75
Boulevard Avenue du Gänäral Leclerc,
14 th arrondissement) opposite the
Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge church.
Cafe De La Mairie (8 Place Saint-
Sulpice, 6 th arrondissement Paris): the
favorite address of many French.
Au Pied de Cochon located right in
the heart of 1st arrondissement Paris
(No. 6 Coquilliere Street). It is one of
the most delicious and famous Parisian
pubs opened since 1947.
Kintaro (24 Saint-Augustin Street,
2nd arrondissement): Japanese flavors.
Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole (No.
24 Chanoinesse Street, 4 th
arrondissement): It dates back to
the 16 th century (at the time of the
Notre Dame Cathedral) and has been
preserved until today.
You can also visit the Pompidou
Center, also known as the Museum of
Contemporary Art, named after French
President George Pompidou. Paintings,
artifacts, and videos hang from the
ceiling, mounted on the wall, or directly
printed onto the walls, these pieces take
viewers from surprise to surprise.
Along the Pompidou is Place de
Stravinsky (1983), where locals and
visitors leisurely chat in restaurants, on
the aisle in the noise of sprinkling water
from a nearby fountain decorated by 16
impressive colorful sculptures inspired
by a composition of the late Russian
composer Igor Stravinsky. Behind the
fountain is a giant wall-painting made by
John Hamon, a person that no one knows
anything information about him except
his messy-hair, portraits wearing glasses
sticked next to all of his artworks in Paris
and around the world.
We visit the Canal Saint Martin where
the romantic canal is dotted with turning
bridges, stairs, and chestnut trees along
its banks. This place has the best bakery
in Paris - Du pain et des idäes.
The bold red painted bookshop, Artazart
Design Bookstore, is also a must-visit
shop in Paris. Established in 2000,
Artazar is Europe's No 1 bookstore
specializing in design publications,
photography, graphics, architecture,
fashion, contemporary art and many other
creative pictures and products. It would
be a shortcoming to talk about art without
mentioning Montmartre hill. I had to
come back here the 3 times I visited Paris
because of the liberal atmosphere, the
pride of a place where many artists live
and perform. On the way, I purposely
visited a grocery store which is a setting
in one of my favorite romantic comedies,
"Amelie", played by actress Audrey
Tautou or attempted to catch a glimpse
at Au Lapin Agile Cabaret, where three
late acclaimed painters Pablo Picasso,
Maurice Utrillo, and Henri de Toulouse-
Lautrec often came. After wandering
around, I reached the top of the hill where

unforgettable memories of these two shopping centers
decorated in festive colors; they are right out of a fairy tale.
French people are well-known for their laid-back style and
their spirit of enjoying each moment of life. The first place
that left many impressions on me is the Parc de Bagatelle, a
great place to go to walk and relax. Not so far from Bagatelle
is the Bois de Boulogne - the historical hunting ground of
French kings. This place is considered one of the "lungs"
of Paris and on beautiful Parisian days, people like to go
to the park for sunbathing or lie-down to read. Jardins du
Luxembourg attracts visitors with its renowned beauty. This
25-hectare garden was founded in 1612 by the initiative
of Queen Marie de Medici, the wife of King Henry IV.
Visitors can visit orchards full of apples, honey bee farms
and greenhouses with a wide range of orchids and roses.
Scattered throughout the park are hundreds of statues
honoring famous French people; fountains and exhibitions
on the garden railings also promise new discoveries.
I believe that a trip to Paris - the City of Light, is more or
less enough inspiring us the beauty of life and the passion
for world exploration. Paris will always be an ideal place as
it contains so many interesting things to discover every day
- no matter who you are - an artistic soul, a foodie or a lover
of nature.
the Sacrä-Coeur Basilica overlooks beautiful Paris. As the
heat of sun goes across one's head, it is time to find a cafä to
rest for a while before continuing the discovery journey.
Shopping & back-to-nature
pleasures
Come to the fashion capital of Paris and
you will find it hard to resist shopping. The
attractiveness of the glazed windows on
the street will overwhelm you with their
decorations; commercial centers whether
they are ancient or modern, are always as beautiful as if in
a dream.
If you are looking for high end, unique or a different
shopping experience, I recommend visiting Galerie Väro-
Doda for a quiet, old-fashioned style, and do not miss the
Forum des Halles with 150 famous brand stores such as
Nike, Lego, Superdry, Muji, Fnac, H & M, Zara, Celio,
Bershka and 17 restaurants along with the Monoprix
supermarket...
There are still at least two of Paris's oldest and most famous
shopping venues, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, on
Haussman Boulevard, district 9. If you have a chance to
visit Paris during Christmas and New Years, you will have

wildlife
To Nordic people, there is nothing more fun than trekking or wandering the
woods on a hot summer day. All you need is a good pair of shoes, a nice
jacket, sunscreen and some anti-mosquito spray. Each summer, Norwegian
forests bustle with hikers. In this season, the sun does not set, but only
drifts down the mountains to the west, making it very easy to wander
around the forest, even for a cosmopolitan girl like me.
Article: Ngoc Quyen - Photos: Ngoc Quyen, several authors

STRAWBERRY PARADISE
In addition to trekking, camping
on mountain peaks or mountainbiking,
summer is wild berry
hunting season. European countries
in general, Northern Europe in
particular, are a paradise for summer
berries. Among the berries, the
strawberry might be the most
familiar of fruits in Vietnam.
However, Northern Europe has more
to offer than just that!
Wild strawberries grow at
the forest's edge. Farm-grown
strawberries can be harvested
extensively in greenhouses, or in
tropical climates, whereas wild
berries only grow in the wild,
especially in the northern part of the
Northern Hemisphere.
Strawberries are smaller than 1/3 of
a girl's pinky, but their smell and
taste is so entrancing that you will
remember them forever after one
try. Strawberries are as sweet as
sugar with a slight sour background;
their smell is so pungent that you
only need to pick one to spread their
aromatic scent into the air. I laughed
at the thought that if I had not picked
this wild strawberry by the forest's
edge, that perhaps my only notion of
a strawberry would be of candy made
from tons of sugar and chemicals!
Blueberries are still quite rare in
Vietnam, but recently they have
appeared in some supermarkets and
import/export fruit shops. However,
the variety seen in Vietnam are those
selected for breeding and professional
cultivation in large farms. These
blueberries are quite large, plump
and sweet while wild blueberries
grown in the forest tell another story.
Wild blueberries grow around pine
trees; the more sunshine they have,
the thicker and more flavourful they
are. They grow in low dusty areas,
close to mossy swamps and rotten
leafy trees - areas that are quite
dangerous if you happen slip down.
To harvest blueberries, you need a
special tool to separate the berries
from the small bushes. The young
fruits and leaves will pass through the
slotted loops of the tray, leaving only
the collected large ripe fruit.
When eating blueberries, your
hands and lips will turn purple like
when eating the Vietnamese sim.
Wild blueberries are smaller in size
and more sour than they are sweet.
Because of this, wild blueberries are
often used to make jam, blueberry
smoothies or baked breads. One of
my favorite summer pastries is the
blueberry muffin, baked with freshly
picked tiny blueberries from the
forest, still fragrant with the scent of
pine needles and damp soil. When
baked, the blueberries burst in the
muffin, mixing with sugar and
aromatic vanilla, bringing a delicious
taste as sweet fruit jam.

RARE CLOUDBERRY AND
RASPBERRY
Cloudberries are a
precious gift that
Mother Nature has
generously bestowed
on the Northern
people living in the cold with little
sunshine all year long. These little
berries are incredibly nutritious:
vitamin C levels double that of
oranges, they contain more fiber
than any other wild berry, are full of
carotene, omega 3, vitamins B and E,
minerals such as phosphorus, iron,
magnesium, calcium, they contain
six types of fatty acids... Cloudberries
also help to prevent the oxidation of
cells, assisting the body in repair and
maintaining youth.
As cloudberries are rare, they
are not easy to find. They only
grow in marshes in the Northern
Hemisphere, as close to the North
Pole as possible. As they grow in
swamp-like conditions, it is hard
to walk around, especially with
mosquitoes buzzing near, their
wings beating like a helicopter!
Nordic "tools" harvesting
cloudberries comprise of rubber
boots, waterproof (and antimosquito)
jackets, mosquito
repellant and countless buckets for
the finished product.
Cloudberries grow in large clusters,
close to the edge of bogs and marshes,
each stem produces only one fruit.
Cloudberry season usually begins
at the end of June, extending to the
end of August, but varies by latitude.
The higher the latitude is, the later
cloudberry season becomes, though,
it is never after summer.
Another summer "berry ambassador"
is the raspberry. Raspberries are a
shrub, often mistaken for mulberry,
which is a tree. Raspberries grow
wild along forest paths, even in
bushes along roads in the city.
Like other summer berries,
raspberries are a sun-loving shrub.
The fruit ripens red under full sun,
interspersing between serrated dark
green leaves, swinging in the wind as
if inviting someone to pick them.
Perhaps among the berries,
raspberries are the most accessible
for children. Nordic platinum haired
babies with clear blue eyes and red
lips can easily follow their parents
into the forest. When they meet the
small bushes, just cresting above
their little heads, they cheer as chicks,
rushing into the bushes to pick the
ripe sweet fruits. Since they become
familiar to the forest at a young age,
126
TRAVELLIVE

they know wild berries quite well. My
father in law told me that the Nordic
children may know of the wild berries
and mushrooms in the forest even
before they know how to read.
Mushroom picking
pleasure
Speaking of wild mushrooms,
picking them is another favorite
hobby of cold country people, which
to me personally is a bit ... risky. It is
risky because there are a myriad of
mushrooms that grow after the late
summer-early autumn forest rains,
of which only about a dozen can
guarantee you still... live... after eating.
Mushroom picking is one of the
Nordic pleasures in the cold country.
Around the beginning of August,
when the blazing summer has begun
to give way to showers, signaling the
coming of fall, is when Norway moves
from berry season to mushroom
harvesting season.
Yellow mushrooms, once picked,
should be brushed off with the
mushroom-knife to clean dust, do not
wash with water as it will remove the
mushroom's nutrients and sweetness.
Wild forest
mushrooms, once
picked from the
earth, should
be processed
immediately in
order to fully enjoy
their nutrients and
the excellent taste
of the Northern
wilderness.
Place a pan over heat, add a bit of
butter, then add the mushrooms and
remember not to stir too much so that
the water pulls from the mushrooms,
then cook down the extracted water
to condense the mushroom taste,
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
serve alongside Swedish meatballs,
reindeer steak with potatoes and stewed
vegetables. Here you have a delicious
dinner after a fun day in the forest.
In addition to yellow mushrooms, the
Norwegian forest also has many other
edible mushrooms such as bread
mushrooms (shaped like a small
loaf of bread), matblekk mushrooms
that look look like rainbow termites,
black chanterelle, which at first glance
appears frightening because of its
dark color but the taste is deep and
sweet, golden trumpet mushroom,
tongue mushroom...
Only those who are lucky enough to
live in the suburbs close to nature, or
know someone who often harvests
mushrooms, have the opportunity
to enjoy these treats. Wild forest
mushrooms, once picked from
the earth, should be processed
immediately in order to fully enjoy
their nutrients and the excellent
taste of the Northern wilderness. As
the saying goes, "playing is also an
elaborate art," and even those who
have money don't always get the
chance to fully enjoy these "delicious
autumn pieces"!
The summer - autumn season of
Northern Europe passes quickly,
just after a few months; people say
goodbye to the golden sunshine,
berries and radiant forest flowers. But
sadness does not last for long because
with fall comes the endless autumn
rain, and if you did not prepare tools
to pick the forest mushrooms, you
can always sit lazily in the house and
gaze out the veranda, leisurely take
sips of aromatic coffee and enjoy
freshly baked blueberry muffins,
fragrantly packed with the whole
summer inside.
More information
‣ Forests in Northern European
countries do not have snakes, leeches,
poisonous spiders or other dangerous
insects, but there are quite a lot of big
mosquitoes. Therefore, if you intend
to go to the forest, you should bring
mosquito repellent and cream to
apply on mosquito bites.
‣ Some poisonous berries have very
attractive colors and aromas, and even
look similar to edible berries. If you do
not know it, you should not take a risk
to pick it.
‣ If you intend to pick mushrooms,
you must have great knowledge of the
edible and poisonous mushrooms of
the forest, or you can take mushroom
picking tours with local guides who
are mushroom savvy. You should
absolutely not pick mushrooms that
you do not know, or are uncertain
about their shape or color... During
mushroom season, there are usually
checkpoints at the edge of the
forest to inspect the safety of picked
mushrooms. However, unfortunate
accidents still happen every year.
‣ Summer is often drizzly in Northern
Europe. You should bring a raincoat, a
waterproof and windproof jacket, rain
boots and dry socks to change into
when your shoes get wet.
‣ Summer temperature in Northern
Europe is about 20-25 o C, but the
temperature in the forest is lower.
When choosing jackets, do not
choose bright colors such as red,
orange, yellow... These colors can
cause wild deer or other large animals
to be excited and cause serious injury
to people.
‣ When picking berries or wild
mushrooms in the forest, people
often pick just enough to eat, leaving
enough for others. You should heed
this notion, and avoid picking more
than necessary.
‣ According to the Norwegian law
of Allemannsretten, people have
the right to visit, camp and harvest
the produce from the forest and
other public spaces (sea, lake, river,
stream...). You can camp in Norway
without any problems.
‣ Norway, and other Nordic
countries, have dense forests which
are typically not too far from city
centers. Based on where you are,
you can ask locals for the nearest
forest as well as the ideal time for
picking different types of berries and
mushrooms.
‣ In autumn there are mushroom
picking and forest visitation courses
that provide useful tips. You can find
more information at the city's tourist
center.
‣ If you are interested in professional
forest hiking, you can refer to trekking
maps, rest stations and for suitable
journeys check the Den Norske
Touristforening website - a
reputable organization specializing in
Norwegian treks.

BAC SON - A GREEN CARPET THROUGHOUT LANG SON
In August, the Bac Son rice fields gradually turn, dying the entire area a deep golden color. This
is the most beautiful time of the year to visit Bac Son. In the morning, if you stand on Na Lay
peak, you can admire the panoramic valley shrouded in a delicate mist, sheltered by mountains
with ripe rice fields and winding rivers.
The special feature of the Bac Son rice fields is that the fields are sown alternately, so that during
ripe rice season the fields appear as a colorful patchwork. There are squares of iridescent water,
brown earth, rich green and vibrant yellow. Each square lends to a greater work of art like that
of a quilt.

SOUTHWESTERN VIETNAM FRUIT HARVEST
Southwestern Vietnam is beautiful all year long due to the special characteristics of each
season. However, if you want to enjoy fresh fruits straight from the source, you should visit
in the summer, from June to August. Drop in at My Khanh garden in Can Tho to enjoy
rambutan, plum, jackfruit, durian... each fruit is bursting with flavor. Head to Vinh Kim,
another must-see area, to enjoy the famous Lo Ren star apple. This garden of ripe fruits will
overwhelm your senses and have your taste-buds tingling.
Don't forget to get up early and experience the river life of the Cai Rang floating market -
one of the two largest floating markets in the Southwest. For those who have never truly
experienced the river, this is a great opportunity to understand more about the Southwestern
way of life.

Inle lake is one of the two largest freshwater lakes in Myanmar, located in the central
Shan State. Inle has two seasons, the dry season in May and the high-water season in
August. The deepest point of the lake is 6 meters, but during the high season, the water
is much deeper. Inle Lake, home to the Inthar people, offers peaceful countryside beauty.
Wake up early to catch the sun breaking on the lake and watch the famous fishermen
that appear in well-known photographs all over the world. In addition, there is also the
extraordinary "long-necked" ethnic group. These incredible people are commonly the topic
of many photographers. Make sure to save time to admire the floating temples and wooden
architecture of the Inle people.

ENJOYING BALLOONS IN BRISTOL
Bristol is located in the southwest of England, about a three-hour drive from
London. Bristol is the site of the annual International Balloon Festival. If you find
yourself in Bristol during mid-August, you will have the opportunity to admire
hundreds of colorful and shapely balloons floating in the sky. In 2017, the balloon
festival attracted half a million participants, with 150 balloons from different
countries around the world. During this festive season, you can camp at different
locations, take part in outdoor activities and watch the glittering sky.
Aside from balloons, you can check out the Clifton Suspension Bridge - a symbol
of Bristol City - or visit the ancient church of St Mary Redcliffe.
HOKKAIDO IN LAVENDER
Unlike cherry blossoms that
bloom only for a short time,
lavender flowers usually last
up to two months. In Hokkaido
(Japan), the flowering season
begins in July and blossoms
continue through August.
Lavender is not considered
a noble flower nor a rare
flower. However, with its
fragrant aroma and romantic
beauty, purple lavender still
captivates visitors.
Hokkaido in lavender season
is a great tourist destination
for the "land of the rising
sun". In summer, lavender
completely covers the
hillsides. Looking down from
Tokachi mountain will amaze
you with its surreal paintinglike
scenery.
