]]> Visiting Beta Cinema in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is not your traditional movie theater experience. It stands in contrast with the typically dark aesthetic of a standard cinema with its bright colors and strong geometric shapes. According to the architects, the space was designed to celebrate the beauty of Old Saigon. The fresh color palette—which includes pink, sea green, and bright orange—and the geometric detailing are inspired by the glamour of Art Deco architecture.

Many of the design features are playfully referring to local areas. The green dome was inspired by the colonial Central Post Office, the ticker counter is inspired by Ben Tahn Market, and the pigeons hanging from the ceiling are a wink at the real birds found at the Municipal Opera House and the Paris Commune Square.

According to Jade Nguyen, director of Module K (the company responsible for the cinema design), the designers wanted to convey a message of pride in Saigon’s landmarks, but not with the usual Indochine style. “We tried to create a funky and welcoming space with locations for connecting, eating, drinking pre and post-film showings,” she said in a statement. And the result is absolutely marvelous. Absolutely worth a visit if you are in Ho Chi Minh City.

]]> When you think about South America, what comes to mind? You probably think of the Spanish and Portuguese languages, warm weather, and vibrant cultures. What likely doesn’t come to mind is a place like the Falkland Islands, a British archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean located just 300 miles off of the coast.

Twice-weekly flights from the UK and regular flights from Chile and Brazil connect this remote archipelago with the rest of the world. While it’s isolated and hard to reach, once you arrive, you will immediately fall in love with this archipelago and realize that all of the effort was so worth it.

Located on the 52nd parallel south and only 750 miles from the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, the climate on the Falkland Islands is cool and damp. This gives way to a tough environment in which to live, proven by the islands’ low population of just over 2,000.

However, for visitors, the Falkland Islands provide so much to do. Outdoor lovers will fall in love with this place and its numerous opportunities for exploration. From biking trails to hikes along oceanside cliffs, anyone looking to escape in a natural paradise will find beauty and solitude here.

Accommodations are available in hotels in the capital city of Stanley as well as guest houses and cottages scattered throughout the archipelago’s biggest islands. Travel from island to island is possible via small aircraft and boats, meaning that you don’t have to stick only to the main island.

The Falkland Islands are open and ready to surprise you. Be sure to check them out if you can!
