Älpermagronen This traditional Swiss dish is a combination of macaroni pasta, potatoes, cheese and onions and is often known as the Swiss version of American macaroni and cheese. Although a heartier dish, älpermagronen can be found in almost every restaurant and ski resort in Switzerland and is best served with a side of apple sauce. Rösti consisting of shredded potatoes and fried with butter until crispy and golden brown, rösti is often served at breakfast or as a side dish.This iconic and national dish can often be paired with onions, spices, cheese, vegetable broth and more.

THECHARMS OFZURICH LAKE ZURICH The lake was above all a route for traffic and transport, today it is a popular place for excursions, and homes along its shores are much sought after. Gently rocking waves, peace and quiet, relaxation and fine food: the best way to discover the Lake Zurich area is by taking a boat trip. Most of the places around the shore are served by a regular boat service all year round. The undisputed favourites with the public are the two historic paddle steamers. From the “GipfeliSchiff” (early mornings) to the “Sonnenuntergangs-Schiff” (sunset sailings), there are all kinds of special excursions available. Musical trips and special tours on public holidays are all part of the programme offered by the Lake Zurich shipping company. The famous “golden coast” extends along the northern side of the lake, from Zollikon to Feldmeilen. This sun-soaked region is famous for its low rates of taxation and high property prices, and is therefore the stretch of coast where you can seen the magnificent houses and villas of the upper echelons of society.

WELCOMING ALLEY WAY ZURICH OLD TOWN AUGUSTINERGASSE Augustinergasse is one of the most beautiful historical, narrow streets in Zurich. With many well-preserved, colorfully painted bay windows, it provides an insight into the history of the city. In addition to better light, the bay windows provided above all the possibility to see who was at the door. They were never built directly above the entrance door, but instead always slightly offset. As a result, residents could already spot unwanted guests from afar and avoid them in an elegant manner when necessary. Augustinergasse is where lovingly carved, wooden windows embellish picture-perfect buildings gleaming in corals, emeralds and pastels. In the Middle Ages, it was home to a number of local artists, though the street was largely occupied by wealthy factory owners by the 17th Century. Notable landmarks along Augustinergasse include Augustinerkirche, one of the most significant churches in medieval Zurich, and Munzplatz, which served not only as a church but also as a workshop and mint coinage. Perhaps the most striking attribute of these edifices is the strategically crafted oriel windows, which go beyond just being a pretty ornamentation. Through these bay windows, residents could view forthcoming guests, hence buying themselves time to decline them with grace, if they so wished. VACATIONMAGAZINE|PAGE 09
HISTORY OFCAPPADOCIA TURKEY Cappadocia is famous for some of the most beautiful natural rock formations which have shaped the impressive landscape and topography of the Göreme valley. Ancient volcanic eruptions blanketed the region with thick ash. This solidified and was later eroded over years of exposure to the elements, resulting in a fairy tale landscape of cones, pillars, pinnacles, mushrooms, and chimneys, which stretch as far as 40 meters into the sky. In the modern era, Cappadocia has become a globally recognized tourist destination, known for its unique geological formations, including fairy chimneys and cave dwellings. The region's historical sites, such as Göreme Open-Air Museum, showcase its rich cultural and religious heritage. In summary, Cappadocia's history reflects a convergence of various civilizations, leaving an indelible mark on its cultural, religious, and architectural heritage. Today, the region stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of its diverse historical past. VACATIONMAGAZINE|PAGE10
BREATHTAKING VIEW IN CAPPADOCIA LAKE TUZ Lake Tuz is an incredible salt lake in Turkey, near Aksaray but also only just over an hour’s drive away from Cappadocia. The lake is remarkable because of its vibrant pink color. Despite how unique this location is, it’s not very popular, and when I visited I enjoyed the entire lake to myself for as far as I could see. This pink, salt lake is known as Lake Tuz or Tuz Gölü. Lake Tuz, situated in the central plateau of Turkey, is the second largest lake in the country with a surface area of 1,665 km2. It is also one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world. The lake is fed by two major streams as well as groundwater and surface water, but it has no outlet, resulting in the formation of brackish marshes where streams enter the lake. The lake is surrounded by arable fields, except for the southern region where extensive salt-steppe is seasonally flooded. VACATIONMAGAZINE|PAGE 11
FAMOUS DISHES IN CAPPADOCIA Manti is theTurkish equivalent of ravioli, but it has a different flavour and texture.The tiny ravioli are dumplings that are fried or boiled and filled with lamb or beef, and seasoned with a variety of spices.The ground meat with spices is simply delicious. Typically, it is served with spicy tomato sauce, garlic yoghurt, and butter, with mint and chilli flakes sprinkled on top.It's a delicious place to start if you've nevertriedTurkish food before. MANTI Testi Kebabi (Pottery Kebab) Afamous dish ofCappadocia and the CentralAnatolian region isTestiKebab.It is not only a delicious meal but also a show to enjoy.In a clay pot, lamb or beef is frequently used as the main filling, along with tomatoes, green peppers, garlic, salt, and pepper.Then some dough is used to seal the pot.The clay pot with your hot kebab stew is then heated over a wood fire. Only when the pot breaks will the food be ready.Your server willrotate the pot and tap the pot's bottom.This experience is unquestionably one of the coolest things to try. VACATIONMAGAZINE|PAGE 12
Soganli, a spectacular abandoned ghost village, haslain empty for almost a decade, allegedly with just one single, full-time resident to its name. This earthquake-ravaged area had been occupied since Roman times, until the government finally relocated itsfewremaining inhabitants. The reason? Rock erosionwas literally disintegrating the surroundings. The cave houses had been carved out of a perilous rock face, and villagerswere prone to avalanches of bouldersraining down into their living quarters. Rumour hasit that one man steadfastly refused to leave his beloved home, and he is nowthe sole occupant. By day, however, a group ofwomen arrive to produce and sell the localspecialty - beautifully embroidered Soganli-brand dolls. The traditionwasinitially borne out of a tragedy -when onewoman lost her baby,she created a dollsubstitute to help her copewith the trauma. Nowit is a fulltime business,with some dollssparkling in crystal-studded dresses and carrying babies in their armsin recognition of their origins.

EDITOR'S NOTE FARRA QURAISABINTIABDUL JALIL BPN230510059 Creating an interesting informative, and easy to-read emagazine article is something that every publication needs to know,regardless of their specific themes and topics. Usually, a magazine article can discuss trending topics and themes, or more specific ones such as geography, cuisine, fashion, music and otherfields in interest. Nonetheless, all of these magazine articles need to abide by the principle of writing the latest events in orderto make the readers interested with the recent events. Furthermore, an e- magazine article sometimes needs to include interviews with the interviewess to get the most accurate information. VACATIONMAGAZINE|PAGE 14
Editor’s Note NURNASHUHA BINTI ZAILY BPN230510061 A digital magazine , also known as an electronic magazine or emagazine , is very similar to its print counterpart , but it is published in a digital format rather than being printed on paper .It can be read on a mobile phone , laptop tablet and computer. A digital magazine can take advantage of digital technology and add animations and links within the magazine to make it more informative or aesthetically better. Moreover, The cost of printing is eliminated and the publishing price is greatly reduced , so most digital magazines do not require the same amount of advertising that print magazines do. In addition ,A print magazine cannot include a link that a reader clicks to visit a website,but a digital magazine can. VACATIONMAGAZINE|PAGE15

A digital magazine- otherwise known as an online magazine or once upon a time an e-magazine-is a magazine that has been published digitally using the web or an app. Editor’s Note SITI NURSYAHFINA BINTI NASAREN (BPN230510062) Unlike print magazines, digital magazines can include links, more high-resolution images, video, audio, and web animations.
