If I had seen My Voice Café & Studio from the front door at the wide street corner, with a noodle trolley and a trolley with huge blue flower bowls, I would not have been likely to be attracted, because I sometimes saw noodle trolleys on the roads, and about the big bowls (?), I…
Wander around George Town, stop to take photos wherever you like, and buy the whole street if you can! Yes, this is the only complete sentence I can write in this article, because George Town had a lot of lovely crafts, decor, old books, clothes, and bags, look what I all wanted to buy ?…
I must say I was quite surprised by Penang street food. Previously I was in Sing, the Malay community was very big, and Malay food was sold everywhere, however, it did not suit my taste very well, except for satay (grilled pork with spicy sauce).

The market is open from 7 AM to 12 PM. Here, you can find great ingredients. When I came there, I wore a large lightweight bag which became…

My husband and I have been cherishing the project of introducing Vietnamese food and tourism in English for a long time, but not until we started the “second five-year plan” were we determined to leave the house, all the jobs behind to travel from the South to the North with our two sisters. Because we…
Thanh Chuong Tea Island is not a well-known destination even though local people have started growing tea on the large and small islands in this area for decades and the quality of the tea is excellent. Thanks to the beautiful and favorable terrain, the tea plants grow healthily without pesticides and stimulants. The fertile soil…
“Take me with you, we will take each other across the border”! Hihi just kidding! It is just Mu Cang Chai. Life is full of pretended sadness. And the rest is happiness. This is us standing on the Mam Xoi hill. When the H’ mong old women just saw us, they rushed to put clothes…
