in Hue, Vietnam

The bus from Hanoi took about 14 hours. It was not the best 14 hours of my life. The bus is sort of nice, it's a sleeping bus so the chairs are built for laying down and you get a blanket but considering the state of the roads and the vietnamese driving it was more like being inside a simulator.

Once again the computer is from the Cold War days so I can't post pictures, but they will come soon.

Hue was once the capital of Vietnam (1802-1945) but now has a bit more thn ruins to show for it. It's not a big city and the Perfume river looks nice (and clean - rare in these parts) however the city's charms didn't work on me. I leave tomorrow morning at 8 am for Hoi An.

I met up with a Malaysian guy I met in Hanoi and we took 2 motorbikes around the city to just have a look around. Mostly we saw decaying pagodas, ruins and tombs... Since our hotel is close to the bus station we were harrassed a bit by taxi drivers, for a moment I thought I was in India, but G. handled them very well.

Because the bus ride was so bad (the driver doesn't understand speed limits) I feel very tired, almost like I didn't slept. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Will I ever find a computer from this century in Vietnam? oh the suspense.
