Hue

Hue was great. Our Hotel was the best yet. We had internet in our room and our tv was nicer than the one we have at home! We watched a lot of crappy movies. I even had a BATH!

It is much smaller than any other place we had been to desides Cat Ba. So many motorbikes. Everywhere there are motorbikes. Ohh, the food was wonderful as well. There is a restaurant call Japanese Restaurant. And you will never guess, they serve Japanese food. Why we chose to go there was because the owner started it to give street kids jobs and help them get off the street. All of the profits go towards helping the kids as well. We felt good eating there but better after having the food. Oh my goodness was it delicious. It was better than most of the Japanese food we have in Edmonton.

Also, we went and saw the Citadel. The old quarters for the Emporer. One of the things I love about Asia is that they do not surround every relic with velvet ropes. We were able to walk all around it and through it. It has a much more profound affect. A lot of Chinese influence in the decor. Old concrete dragons and such.

We also went to the market. I got ripped off so badly. I bought some lichee nuts for 50,000 dong. Thats about $3 but still. The woman couldn't beleive I was willing to pay it. She started fanning my with her fan. I think she felt like she owed me something. Which she did! The best lichee nuts I have ever had.
