BTW, it is pronounced "whey," as in what Little Miss Muffet was eating while sitting on her tuffet. Along with her curds. Just FYI.

Along the side street markets...motorscooter shopping... seriously...they ride by, examining the wares, point, and the merchant serves it up; and on to the next shop, never getting off the bike |
|
Our explorations took us along or across the Perfume River on a few occasions;
here is the line-up of boats waiting to take you five miles up the river to see the
Pagoda; and back; we met our pagoda quota in China years ago |
|
The south side of the river was lined with a variety of attractive parks, including
a sculpture park |
|
Spicy shrimp district in the huge, covered Dong Ba market |
|
The market is definitely on everyone's tourist itinerary for Hue; I would caution
that this is no tourist market, as many others we've seen; very close quarters,
many touts and everyone anxious for your business; intense; an hour was plenty
for us |
|
Hardware store |
|
Hue traffic |
|
Sic transit sick motorscooter, on a cyclo |
|
What the well-dressed motor-cyclista wears in Hue |
|
Perfume River from the main bridge to the Citadel |
|
The DMZ bar and restaurant; Vietnamese owned and operated; we had lunch
here one day, more out of curiosity than anything else |
|
The decor (here, the ceiling) is entirely of the war, but pitched to attract
foreigners, especially Americans, of whom there were not a few |
|
AK-47 and M-16 door handles |
|
The food was tasty even if the decor was not |
|
Still on the south side of the river, residential construction |
|
In the neighborhood where young people and tourists congregate |
|
Another tree that has probably seen too much; a beautiful
old bouganvillea rising up past the third floor |
