Hue
Friday, March 10th, 2006Ok so I arrived in Hie which is another Unesco Site. When it got this status i don’t know. Ok So I took a bus from Hanoi to Hue left at 9pm and arrived around 9:30 the next day. I told myself I would never take a bus without a toilet and well I did. Sometime in the middle of the night I had to go really bad. Finally the bus driver pulled over so I could go. At first he was saying up ahead indicating we were going to stop soon for a break. Well I kept waiting and waiting and finally I got up and pleaded with the guy that I couldn’t wait. He stopped and I was able to releave myself. Of course you don’t want to hear that. Anyway this time I’m taking atrain to Nha Trang which is a beach place. Touristy most likely but hopefully won’t be so bad.
So Hue is a nice city it’s got crazy motorcycle drivers and the like. Crossing the street is art. No one pay’s attention to street lights if they exist. Hue is most famous for the replication of the Forbidden City in Bejeing City China. Some King during the late 1888 built the Cathedral which is a big walled city. Amongst that is the forbidden city. Not at all the same do to size but not a bad duplication. I’m staying at a hotel for $7 but it’s on the fourth floor. The higher up you are the cheaper it gets. I’m eating vegi spring rolls which are good and vegetable soup. For breakfast I always order a fruit platter with Watermelon, Banana, Mango or Papaya, Pineapple and some apple like fruit. i’ve been able to get some good chocalate cakes etc. Not bad which has helped me with my chocolate fix. So I’m going tonight to take a river boat and see some performance. It’s called Perfume River. Many Rivers called Perfume something. Well I have to head back to the hotel to go get my ride to the show. Tomorrow I catch a train to Nha Trang. It’s a day train so I will be able to see the countryside. I leave at 7:30 Am and arrive around 8pm. I’m suppose to have a soft Seat. Thats what they claim. We shall see if it’s really soft or not. The computers in this town are slow so I will wiat to upload more pictures in Nha Trang. Don’t forget to go to my Kodak link on the side to check out all my wonderfull pictures. He he he. Ciao for now
