#1 PREPARING FOR TÉT - Flower market and Local Snacks by @angielettenmeyer

Lunar New Year is the biggest and most important festival in many Asian countries, and Vietnam is no exception to this. During my time in Da Nang, I was lucky enough to stay with a lovely host family who not only opened their home for me but also let me be part of their traditions and culture. Today I want to show you how Vietnamese families prepare for the event of the year and for that I have to introduce you to a traditional local snack called Banh Tet or also Banh Chung.

#2 The next destinations in Sacred Valley: Salinas de Maras and Moray by @hanggggbeeee

Living on coastline, I was no stranger to the salt extraction work, but it still amazed me for the unique way of mining salt which had been used by locals since Inca time. Many centuries have passed and the fact that nowadays the saltpan is still in use and remains the same irrigation system just like hundreds of years ago. It really made me wonder how the Incas did ever figure it out in that early of time.

#3 Beautiful Sunday: the best temple fair by the river,งานวัดที่สนุกที่สุดเท่าที่เคยไปมา by @kaminchan

Last Sunday I took a boat ride along the Chao Phraya River and got off at Memorial Bridge. I was heading across the river towards an old temple on the other side. This temple: Wat Prayurawongsawas was having its 192nd year anniversary celebration. This event turned out to be the best temple fair that I have ever experienced in years. I could not believe that local monks did manage and organise such a wonderful temple fair.
