Hue's Highlights, scooter dudes from hotel Vinh, An, and snacks with Darren at my "brothers" family home outside of town, great frog legs, hot pot, no snake though. Trevor's birthday and the beer ninja. Karoke with Claire and Ed and gang, the beach, Citadel and dragon boat to To Duc Tomb, Browneyes and DMZ bar, Long Life and Coconut Covered Peanuts.
From Wikipedia:
Huế is perhaps best known for its historic monuments, which have earned it a place in the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. The seat of the Nguyen emperors was in the Citadel, which occupies a large, walled area on the north side of the river. Inside the citadel was a forbidden city where only the concubines, emperors, and those close enough to them were granted access, the punishment for trespassing being death. Today, little of the forbidden city remains, though reconstruction efforts are in progress to maintain it as a tourist attraction as a view of the history of Huế.
