Spring, with its bouquet of blooming flowers, is approaching. In this awakening atmosphere of heaven and earth, Culture Magazin happily sends you our spring-summer issue with gentle but stimulating content.

The magazine's front pages provide useful information on Canada's economic recovery and immigration status during the pandemic. This issue also introduces books where celebrities have revealed some of their deepest secrets. The East Meets West story discusses an issue of concern to Asian families, how to raise children between cultures. The travel section offers beautiful pictures and experiences at Đá Dĩa Reef, a 200-million-year old masterpiece created by the eruption of Phú Yên. Take a day trip to Alluvia Chocolate in Tiền Giang for a sweet challenge. If you want to stay closer to home, check out Quebec's Charlevoix, a region of shimmering water, ancient mountains, carefully crafted cuisine, and artists bursting with talent. A good destination choice due to travel restrictions caused by COVID-19. 

We also have beauty tips, as well as simple recipes for delicious food to help keep you looking good and well-fed this spring. Spring is famous for its changeable temperatures. Days are warmer and longer, but nights are still cool. We will need a warm jacket. An umbrella is also useful as there is often a lot of rain during this time of year.

As the sun comes out and banishes winter’s chill, the editorial team of Culture Magazin would like to wish you good health and peace.


Our long-awaited summer full of adventure is finally here after two long years of disappointing wanderlust. We have some great travel
suggestions and destinations for you in this issue.

Culture Magazin had the pleasure of briefly interviewing Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie at Saigon Park’s official inauguration event. This new and
beautiful Mississauga park pays homage to the city’s friendship with the Vietnamese Canadian community, many of whom found refuge in Canada

formation and development of the Vietnamese community in Canada, marked by the opening of Saigon Park. This is the first park that recognizes Vietnamese
abroad.

At Merrill House, in Prince Edward County, we explore the hotel’s upscale makeover. Going further abroad, we take you to San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato in the heart of Mexico. Our Vietnam culture and travel column is an introduction to the Kate festival of the Cham people in Ninh Thuan. 

For the foodies out there, we’ve covered some of the restaurants on the Top 100 Best list of 2022. Readers will enjoy learning about books authored by
Vietnamese writers in North America. For those who like to decorate, we have suggestions on ways to transform your outdoor space.

The Covid-19 pandemic is gradually being controlled across Canada and the Canadian economy is on its way to reopening.

Culture Magazin is pleased to present our June/July Summer issue. Join us in this issue to celebrate Canada Day through exciting cultural stories.

The front pages of the magazine are about Canada and things happening around us, and the following pages contain the inspiring story of a group of Vietnamese Canadian youth who is working to help marginalized communities in British Columbia.

The cover story is a conversation with Singaporean actress Kheng Hua Tan about her journey to Hollywood. The Travel, Culture, and Food sections will help you discover new destinations such as the wilds of southern Africa, the ancient royal tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue citadel, and Winnipeg’s gallery of Inuit art. We’ll also take you to see how coconut candy is made in Vietnam.

There is a useful article outlining the facts and myths concerning drinking two liters of water a day. Plus, there are other interesting articles about beauty, recipes, and philanthropy.

The Covid-19 pandemic is still going. We are continuing to deal with many difficulties every day. Let’s be patient. Eventually things will get better. As the billionaire Jack Ma once said, “Never
give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will bring sunshine. If you give up tomorrow, you will never see the sunshine.” 

Wishing our dear readers a very happy celebration on Canada day with your family and a vibrant summer with many interesting things awaiting.

The Year of the Rat, 2020, was the first year of a new round of 12 zodiac signs. It was considered to have many new beginnings, and so it did. These new beginnings, or changes, were unforeseen and led people to adapt to unprecedented situations. 

Everything happens for a reason. It seems that the difficulties of last year might help us transform and begin the Year of the Ox with much luck. The hope is for a year full of prosperity and health for everyone. 

In this first issue of the new year, Culture Magazin is pleased to introduce to you some interesting and useful articles. The first pages of the magazine feature information about the real estate market in the next two years and AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine. There is also a piece about Debby Nguyen, a young, passionate writer, who has explored both Vietnamese and the world’s traditional medicines. 

Our cover story chronicles the experience of singer Huong Tram and her first Tết holiday in the United States, away from her home country. 

In our Travel section, we take you to a place that is equally poetic and sacred – Bích Động Pagoda in Ninh Binh. We also go to Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick’s hidden gem, and the lovely Caribbean island of Barbados. 

Read through the Food section and you’ll encounter familiar dishes for families on the first days of the new year. 

We hope you enjoy other articles about health, fashion and beauty, providing you with helpful and practical advice. 

The editorial team at Culture Magazin wishes you all good health, happiness and prosperity in the Year of the Ox.

Economic activities are still subject to restrictions to ensure safety, and some occupations are on hold due to lockdowns, but there is the hope of returning to a new normal soon. As noted in an OECD report in this issue's Need to Know, the world economy will begin to recover next year. In a historic moment, the first Covid-19 vaccines have been deployed in several parts of the world, including Canada. That is a positive move in the fight against the pandemic. 

Let's lighten our minds for a moment and go through the pages of Culture Magazin to enjoy the amazing things around us. Our cover story outlines the experience of Miss Tieu Vy when she became Miss Vietnam at the age of 18. You will also be inspired by the story of American photographer Alden Anderson who has a special love for Vietnam’s ethnic minorities. 

The travel section takes you to places with the fascinating natural beauty of mountains such as Dak Lak in Vietnam, and the Tohuku region of Japan. 

In the Fashion & Beauty section, the editor's picks give you some fresh ideas for looking good and keeping warm in the new year. 

We have passed through 2020, a year of gloom and doom. Let's be confident that 2021 will arrive with beauty, such as we hear in the lyrics of “Follow the Sun” by Xavier Rudd, an Australian singer and songwriter: “Tomorrow’s a new day for everyone. A brand new moon and brand new sun.” 

We wish you, dear readers of Culture Magazin, a new year with many blessings to be shared with your family and loved ones.

The last leaves of autumn have fallen and winter is coming. This season will probably be more difficult than previous ones because the pandemic is adding to the cold. It approaches us every day, forcing us to be alert and strictly implement safety measures including keeping a safe social distance from each other. 

Covid-19 has restricted travel, so Culture is pleased to lead you to new lands through our magazine’s pages. The first travel story captures beautiful autumn moments in Toronto’s Bronte Creek Park. The next one delivers stunning aerial views of Saigon, and misty glimpses of Lao Cai province in northwestern Vietnam. Finally, our world travel story takes you to the tiny African country of eSwatini where outdoor adventures with wildlife will help regenerate your energy. 

Looking for a tasty, cultural lift? Let us introduce you to tips for making delicious coffee. 

A must read is our cover story. John Huy Trần is a Vietnamese-Canadian dancer who has built a successful career in Vietnam. 

For more inspiration, you can read about Tuan An Tran, a talented Vietnamese guitarist in the United States.

Culture Magazin’s Print Edition is Back! 

When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our lives, I remembered the words of author and motivational speaker Vivian Greene, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain." Each of us is practicing to adapt to the "new normal" created by this virus. 

Returning after a pause, this issue of Culture Magazin aims to bring you joyful and hopeful feelings. The cover story is as beautiful as a fairytale. It’s about the love of a famous couple in Vietnamese showbiz, Dong Nhi and Ong Cao Thang. 

Our inspirational profile showcases the progression, passion, sweetness and optimism of a Vietnamese-Canadian dancer and actor, Mickeey Nguyen. 

Culture Magazin's travel section is always a must-read. Perhaps this is especially true since we have been so limited in our ability to move about. Let us introduce you to a secret trove of architectural treasures you can find tucked away in East Toronto.

Let's join hands to repel the COVID-19 pandemic!

I recently read in the Washington Post that the editors-in-chief of prestigious law journals at the top 16 law schools in the United States are all women. This is an historic first. Heading into 2020, we see the roles of women changing. They are now CEOs and world leaders, activists, artists, deans of architecture schools, and hold many other top positions. This is a major breakthrough and shows that women can be strong leaders. 

In this March issue, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, Culture introduces you to a few exceptional young women. Read their inspiring stories and learn how they are trying to influence the world with their talent. They include our cover feature, Miss World Vietnam 2019, Luong Thuy Linh, ambitious writer Gari Nguyen, perky German vlogger Brittanya Karma, and the creative and charming supermodel Jessica Minh Anh. Check out our travel tips, new recipes, and fashion and beauty suggestions as we head into spring.

With all the concerns about the coronavirus spreading around the world, let’s keep healthy with daily exercise routines and nutritious diets. Check out some of our health advice in this issue and tips on how to boost your immune system against sickness on our website, and on our Culture Channel. 

I hope you will start the season with freshness and new inspiration. To all the women, I wish you courage and happiness. Stay strong, be brave, and face the tough challenges, because after the rain there is a rainbow!

We are stepping into 2020, a new year, a brand-new decade, and a new 12-year cycle of the animal signs, starting with Year of the Rat. Together, let’s embrace the new year with fresh beginnings, goals, and adventures.

In the first issue of 2020, Culture Magazin takes you on a journey to new destinations, to meet new faces, try new food, make new recipes, and more.
The cover story features a woman that I greatly respect. Dr. Mylene Huynh went from being a little “boat-people” girl to becoming a United States Air Force colonel. In an interview with Culture Magazin, Dr. Huynh talks about her military life, how she gives back, and the significance of health and balance in life. We also have a 5-minute talk with witty YouTuber, Kayla Nguyen. She is a second-generation Vietnamese- American who shares her lovely and funny perspective on learning Vietnamese.

The Travel column invites you to explore Phu Quoc paradise, that is nicknamed the Pearl Island. It is one of nine World Biosphere Reserve locations in Vietnam, recognized by UNESCO. Then, join the "treasure hunt" in Toronto’s West End.

The Lifestyle column will share the benefits of figs and two new interesting recipes for Tet, beef stew and Vietnamese rolls. Check out our article on Tourism Trends in the Tet Holiday 2020. Oh, and remember to go to our new Culture Channel on YouTube for culture and lifestyle videos that are updated weekly.

I hope the new year brings you good health, prosperity, success and a fulfilling life! HAPPY 2020!
