Lesson 1 Time to Travel
Travel Your Way!
Do you want to travel abroad, but are not sure where to go?
Then, think about your travel type.
Are you a festival lover, a food lover, or an adventure lover?
We recommend three wonderful travel sites in Asia that suit each travel type.
TYPE A. Festival Lover
If you are into spectacular festivals, how about Loi Krathong in Sukhothai, Thailand?
Visit this famous festival of lights and join the Thai people at a river’s edge.
There, you can release floating lanterns called krathongs while making a wish.
This lets you release all your negative energy and welcome good fortune in the coming year.
The legend says that if the lantern remains lit until it disappears from sight, your wish will come true.
Although Loi Krathong is held throughout Thailand, Sukhothai is the best because it is its birthplace.
Sukhothai also holds the biggest celebration in Thailand, which lasts for about five days.
In addition to floating lanterns, you can also enjoy beautiful fireworks, learn folk dances, and watch spectacular light and sound shows.
We cannot emphasize enough how beautiful the temples and monuments surrounded by bright lights are!
The festival takes place on the day of the full moon of the 12th month in the Thai lunar calendar.
This usually comes in November in the solar calendar.
However, since the exact date changes every year, make sure to check before you head to Thailand.
TYPE B. Food Lover
Do you enjoy trying delicious and exotic food?
Then, Shilin Night Market in Taipei, Taiwan is for you!
With a history of more than 100 years, it is the largest and most famous night market in Taiwan.
It is heaven for those who want to try local street food at an inexpensive price.
The fun atmosphere and huge selection of street food make it popular with both tourists and residents.
Here are some of our recommendations for you to try at Shilin Night Market.
If you find a long line of people, chances are high that it is for ji pai.
It is a seasoned flat piece of fried chicken, which is as large as your face.
The crispiness is out of this world.
Another popular dish is oyster omelet.
It is a mixture of eggs and potato flour, filled with fresh oysters full of juice.
Sweet sauce poured on top adds a fantastic flavor.
Wouldn’t you like something to drink now?
We recommend some papaya milk juice.
This sweet fruit juice will refresh you and boost your energy for night shopping.
You should get to the market at around 7 to 8 p.m., when everything is set up.
With many people coming and going, the atmosphere of the market reaches its peak.
TYPE C. Adventure Lover
For adventure seekers who love challenging outdoor activities, canyoning in Dalat, Vietnam is a must!
Canyoning is the sport of traveling down a river canyon in fun and exciting ways like zip-lining, sliding, and rappelling.
The best place to enjoy canyoning is Datanla Waterfall in Dalat because it is a naturally rocky region with a wide range of canyons.
Let us introduce some of the canyoning activities that will get your heart pounding.
One of the first things you will do at Datanla Waterfall is zip-lining.
While flying fast down a cable, you will enjoy the impressive spectacle of Datanla Waterfall pouring over a rocky cliff.
Then, there is the natural water slide.
It is as fun as the ones made artificially at water parks.
You can lie down with your arms crossed in front of you and simply slide down into a pool of cool water.
The highlight of canyoning is, needless to say, water rappelling.
You can walk down the vertical waterfall on a rocky cliff, relying on a rope.
The force of water falling down the cliff will spin you around like a washing machine before you safely reach the bottom.
It is better than a roller coaster!
We cannot stress enough how exciting these activities are.
Did you find a place that catches your interest?
If so, then go get a ticket for a wonderful trip abroad!
