Hue is really cool.  It's much slower paced than Hanoi was.  But it still has great food and good weather and nice people.  I like Hanoi better - but this is still a great spot to visit.  Vietnam def kicks ass!

Unfortunately I landed in Hue sick.  I got sick for my last day in Hanoi and it is still with me here.  So... no partying for me.  I could sight-see but I got tired quickly.  Still, it was a great place to rest up, especially since my hotel was so amazing!

I went to the Imperial City on my only full day in Hue.  It was founded in 1804 but was damaged 2x and is currently being fixed up.  Its a nice sight to see.  The architecture is sort of chinese (or at least thats what I think).

I also watched a movie here (Little Miss Sunshine).  A few laughs, but I stopped watching it after grandpa died.  He was the star of the show.  Not the best movie if you ask me.  I should've played more guitar instead.

One other thing to watch out for in Vietnam.  The hotels charge you for using a credit card (3-4%).  So bring cash when you stay at them so you can save some money.
