Last winter, freezing bitter winds brought snowflakes to Sapa, covering the land with a white pure color. Hardly hard a guesthouse owner informed when I and some of my friends packed our luggage, wore our warmest clothes and went to Sapa. At that time, we only wanted to catch the rare snowflakes in our tropical country. Snow is no longer unfamiliar with us who have traveled a lot. We lost in a snow rain in Beijing, saw ourselves get nosebleeds while walking in snow mud at Hokkaido Ski resort and used to gather in front of fireplace while outside the window, snow was sprinkling the melodies of Fur Elise on Veanna. We even celebrated Christmas right at Charle de Gaulle Airport with free red wine when our flight was delayed because of snow. However, snow in Sapa is a different thing. In this tropical country, snow seems to be a warning of global changes, yet travel lovers like us could not stay at home and miss that special phenomenon. We had one of the most memorable winters in life.
