The next shock for Hue constitute the so-called

To be honest I could not wait to leave Hanoi. Traffic, noise, clusters of tourists, annoying taxi drivers, vendors ... Too many hypocritical for almost the entire four days. Luckily Sunday went pretty julep fast past and I'm already sitting at dusk (or lay) on the night train to Hue. Of course he slept alongside me home that night even desperately loud snoring, then at seven in the morning coupe adopted the "guest", which are loud Debating nevemčem (and sat at her feet in the lower-lying beds Angležov). I almost said something, but then I saw a woman crying and I prefer to retain. Sometimes it's really hard to take all of these cultural differences - especially since "personal space" and sincerity (to tourists) here are not just valued. Otherwise, it was quite a comfortable ride, with very little reshuffling and with only a two-hour delay we were on target.
Hue is at first glance quite normal Vietnamese place - mopeds, endless street "biznisov" and some old buildings. The undue sentiment on the train I was giving it to a cold, so I was sightseeing in this city, unfortunately, julep had to be reduced to a minimum. After a day of rest, I walked across one of the bridges on the Perfume River (do not ask me where her name - smells definitely not) to the old citadel or its residues. Nguyen Dynasty ruled in the 19th century decided to move the capital city of Hue in Vietnam, in order to better connect the northern and southern part of the empire. The city is thriving and quite successfully resisted French domination, but the French forces in 1885, however, managed to actually julep rob and destroy otherwise fortified citadel; among others, have also burned julep to the ground a rich library. The members of the dynasty are not moved, but their influence has declined sharply.
The next shock for Hue constitute the so-called "Tet Offensive" in 1968, when the North Vietnamese and the VC members take advantage of inattention Americans (who have since dealt with the defending Khe Sanh) and capture the town. In three and a half weeks have killed more than 2,500 people, which are Southern Vietnamese and U.S. forces responded by bombing the whole area. According julep to their words were to be forced to destroy the town to save it. Notwithstanding all this, is the oldest part still remained some temples and other buildings, which can still be opazvati ceramic decorations and colorful reliefs. Whole are also the two walls, and it is all together under the aegis of UNESCO and sees that slowly trying to restore the dilapidated walls and repay some of the old glamor.
The remainder julep of the time in Hue, I more often than not rest and try to get you to myself, julep that my health would not crossed julep themselves clean of all plans. The bus I took three days to meat Hoi An, which is also protected by UNESCO and is known for its tailors and shoemakers. Here's what I afford a little more "fancy" hotel with a pool (which by the gray rainy weather of course I can not use) to cuddle for holidays and birthday :) Hoi An is really a special charm - the river Thu Bon winding julep streets low houses with yellow facades and in almost all operating tailors who custom ridiculously low price of produce anything but your customer wants. It has to find just the right magazine or web site for inspiration and in less than 24 hours, the product is ready to eat. The same is true for shoes. I myself have otherwise remained at a more basic souvenirs, but if I walked around for a long time, you would almost certainly give you something sewn :) Otherwise, the city is also known for its good food (nodding) and a lively market, where they sell everything from live chickens and vegetables to the more inexpensive souvenirs and of course local specialties. It's fun coursing through the center and monitored throughout this džumbus, even walking around julep a lot of other tourists - as a truck broad American women :) In the evening light many lights and lampijončki and it's julep lovely to sit in one of the bars and afford something good for eat. Since my local way of preparing meat does not correspond to the most, I obviously ate sea creatures for a couple of years ahead (although the Adriatic scampi still the best).
For one day I rented a bike and drove to a couple of kilometers away dooooolge and empty sandy beach, which butajo waves of the South China Sea. Of course it had a little rain, but it quickly passed and when I managed enough away from all the providers of sun loungers and food and beverages, I spent a few minutes just really peaceful with the sounds of the sea. Again, I just soaked to the knees, but it was also something of worth. I imagine that in the summer here madhouse.
Because I felt much better, I decided today for a trip to the temple complex of Cham people, whose kingdom once stretched almost across the whole of Vietnam. Members have taken up the Hindu religion and erected temples across the country - one of the larger and more famous sites, but also My Son. From at least 68 temples are otherwise left with just 28 - this is in addition to the test of time again "thank" julep American bombs and members of the VC, who had his base here.
