Hahaha! Please do report back, I’m invested 😆

I find it so cold now, but when I lived there I would never greet anyone 😆

This might be a strange observation, but I think a ‘morning’ might be a better greeting. To me, ‘hi’ feels like you have to respond or you’re about to get into a big chat, but ‘morning’ is said in passing. Might be just me!

And of course, the food is unreal 😋

But I think Hue is worth a visit in any weather.

The history is fascinating and there is so much to see.

This continued in #Hue, where it’s rainy season. The downpours were continuous - until the day I left, when it was absolutely dry 😆

That’s exciting!
I loved the free walking tour of the city (you tip at the end). The post office, book street and cafe apartments are nice to see. The war remnants museum is worth visiting, but deeply upsetting 😅

I didn’t do the cu chi tunnels, but everyone says they’re great.

Hope you have fun!

The influx of tourists is on a whole other level.

It’s like the whole place exists to entertain tourists and it’s so peculiar. The amount of tourist traps - the bamboo bridge and Chinese village, for example - is just so strange.

I enjoyed the nature, but a week was plenty long enough for me 😅

I made:
👉 Papaya salad
👉 Thai cashew chicken stir fry
👉 Coconut chicken soup
👉 Thai green curry
👉 Mango sticky rice

The best bit? We could only eat half so I’ve got leftovers for dinner 🥳
