India is now Vietnam's fastest growing tourism market with the number of visitors last year from that country increasing by 231% from 2019, the year before Covid broke out. It was followed by Cambodia (176%), Laos (122%), Singapore (106%), and Australia (102%), data from the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism shows. Vietnamese carriers in 2023 raced to start new direct services to Vietnam's major tourist destinations from Indian cities to tap into the world's most populous market. Data from Google's "Year in Search 2023" report showed Vietnam was the most searched tourist destination by Indians last year. With Thailand and Malaysia already waiving visas for Indian tourists, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung urged the government to do the same to compete with them. Southeast Asia has also become a bright spot for Vietnam’s inbound tourism market. The visa-free stay of 30 days for nationals of ASEAN member countries and the plethora of direct flights to Vietnamese cities from Southeast Asia have been credited for rapid growth, insiders said. Australians are also increasingly traveling to Vietnam thanks to low airfares and a number of new direct flights from their country to Hanoi and HCMC.

Thomas was informed of the tragic news that her Norwegian boyfriend, Andreas, had died on Dec. 26, 2023 while preparing for the Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2023 semifinals in the Central Highlands city of Da Lat. "I was shocked and couldn’t believe it could happen," she said. "We were close from the moment we first met and I saw him as a soulmate. I had never thought this would be how our journey together ends." Thomas and her friends initially suspected an accident, especially since Andreas had disappeared with his motorbike. However, it was later revealed by authorities that Andreas had suffered a fatal stroke. Amidst this tragedy, Thomas was unable to attend her boyfriend’s funeral in Ho Chi Minh City due to her participation in the pageant. She chose to continue in the contest, driven by the memory of Andreas, who had been a motivating force behind her decision to compete. Andreas, who was working in Vietnam before his death, shared a three-year relationship with Thomas. She fondly remembered him as a "bookworm," the most rational individual she knew, and a source of positive energy and mental support for those around him. He was understanding, logical, and a good listener as well, according to her.

Originating from Yunnan, China, clay-pot milk tea gained popularity on the streets of Hanoi in the final days of the year. Despite numerous establishments opening on streets like Hang Muoi, Ngo Tram, and Hang Chieu, these shops have still struggled to meet the high demand. Customers often endure wait times that sometimes last an hour. The clay-pot milk features tea, herbs, dried red apples, sugar, fresh milk, and tea-marinated flowers. After receiving an order, the staff starts by carefully measuring water, milk, and rock sugar in specific amounts before pouring them into clay pots. They then add herbal teas and let the mixture cook for about 4-5 minutes. While it's cooking, the owner gently stirs the drink with a spoon. The clay pots are put directly on the stove, and each stove can handle four pots at once. Once it's boiling, the staff pours the milk tea into cups for customers to enjoy. Unlike regular milk tea places, clay-pot tea shops often provide outdoor seating. This allows customers to soak in the street scene, embrace the winter chill, and relish a warm cup of tea.

World number one Novak Djokovic is hoping his latest trip to Australia is not the last, but admits that at 36 he is now taking it "season by season." The Serbian superstar is the king of the Melbourne Park hard courts, winning the Australian Open a record 10 times, with an 11th in his sights next month. He gets his preparations under way in Perth at the ATP-WTA United Cup on Sunday after another incredible season that brought three more Grand Slam titles for a record 24. That included another Australian Open, taming Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas 6–3, 7–6 (7–4), 7–6 (7–5) in the 2023 final. So dominant is Djokovic that he has won four of the last five Australian Opens with the only exception being 2022, when he was kicked out of the country for refusing to get the Covid-19 vaccine. "I hope it's not the last, to be honest," he said of being in Australia again after his arrival in Perth and a late training session on Thursday.

"I call him [Hung Vanngo] a plastic surgeon," the actress joked when she sat down with Kylie Jenner for a talk, which was published in the Interview Magazine on Nov. 27. "Because everybody in the last few months since I’ve been working with him is convinced that I had eye surgery." She cleared the rumor: "I didn’t have eye surgery. I’m doing makeup." Her guest Jenner then confirmed that The Hunger Games’ actress had been "looking amazing" with the Vietnamese-born artist’s new makeup style. Hung Vanngo, 38, is a New York-based makeup artist who was born in Vietnam. He relocated to Canada at a young age and spent a large part of his early adulthood sketching and painting, which helped him develop what he called "a refined hand and keen eye for color and composition." Soon after he moved to New York in 2006, his makeup talent was discovered by various top fashion houses’ photographers. He has worked with many celebrities beside Lawrence since, including Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Julianne Moore, Katy Perry, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Amy Adams.

Vietnam will enjoy dry weather and mild temperatures on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, making the holiday suitable for outdoor activities. The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting announced that northern Vietnam will see light daytime sunshine and fog at night and early in the morning over the next several days. But air pollution will unfortunately be at high levels due to thick dust concentration in the air. U.S. site AccuWeather forecast Hanoi temperatures of around 18-27 degrees Celsius on Sunday, with a drop to 16-25 degrees the next day, the first day of the new year. Temperatures in high-altitude places like Sa Pa will hover around 10-18 degrees, it predicted. Mercury levels vary more in the central region, where temperatures ranging from 18-25 degrees in Hue and Quang Binh can be expected during the 2023-2024 transition, with 19-22 degrees forecast in Da Nang, and 28-31 degrees in Phan Thiet and Quy Nhon.
