Vinpearl, Vietnam's premier hospitality brand fulfils the desire to reconnect with nature In an increasingly developed world, where experiences are often neatly packaged for convenience, it can feel like a chore to have a truly “real” experience with nature. The concrete jungle, while having its own allure, can leave us yearning for the raw, untamed beauty of the natural world. This innate tendency to reconnect with nature, or biophilia, is more than just a passing trend; it's a deep-seated human need. And this need is also shaping the travel industry. Research suggests that time spent in nature offers a multitude of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, improving immune system function, and reducing levels of stress hormones. It is, therefore, no surprise that imm...

Curry may have landed in Southeast Asia 2000 years ago Spices found on stone tools shed light on ancient global trade network Even after 2000 years, the stone slab still smelled of nutmeg. Unearthed in an ancient village in southern Vietnam, the cookware—roughly the size and shape of an anvil—was likely used to grind the spice, along with other ingredients familiar in today’s curries.
