Amazing Halong Bay, Vietnam

Halong Bay

On one of my husband's official visit in Vietnam 2008 and 2009, I went there along with him. We lived for a few months in Ho chi Minh City. I visited many places in Vietnam. I would like to share some of my beautiful pictures. Today  I would like to start with my favorite place and world Heritage centre Halong Bay.  This is one of the world's natural wonders.It features thousands of awesome  lime stone karsts   and various sizes of islands.

We reached Hanoi  from Ho Chi Minh City(Saigon). From Hanoi  airport we have taken a rental car and reached Halong City. From there we have taken rented House boat (Junk) with English speaking guide,and  started our Bay journey.One nice thing in this boats is that they have nice kitchens and they will cook and serve you.

Sri Krishna Jayanthi / Janmashtami Greetings to all. Though for a majority of India, its a month late, some parts of India, that goes by solar calendar,  is celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 8th September 2012.  In Manipal, the city where I am living currently is also celebrating this festival in a grand manner this week along with its twin city, the Temple Town,  Udupi. Udupi is known world over for the  Temple of Lord Krishna. As the entire region  is busy along with Udupi  for the celebrations of  birth day of Lord Krishna on the 8th/9th September, I visited  the temple, on the eve of the festival.

Filter coffee powder is different from instant coffee powder. In India, Filter coffee powder is sold in coffee shops and in grocery stores. What makes the filter coffee powder unique is the proportionate mixture of ground roasted coffee beans with powdered chicory. Chicory enhances the taste and the smell of coffee. The filter coffee is made using an instrument called the coffee filter. The filter brews coffee into a fine dicoction. The coffee filter is made of two cups:(upper one fits onto the lower one.) 1. Upper cup is like a filter(with pierced base) for filtering out the brewed coffee. The upper cup usually comes with a lid and 2. Bottom cup to collect the decoction(brewed coffee) Today i will show you how to make Indian filter coffee. I have used a tradit
