    50 plus years ago I traveled extensively in Vietnam in the area of Hue. In many ways things have changed but mostly, nothing much has.

    In spite of the huge devastation they suffered, the people of Vietnam have done themselves proud over the last 50 years.

    Never made it to Hanoi during my travels but it is something I intend to do,

    Thanks for your usual fine travel thread Katie.

    Thanks for all the nice comments and greens.

    @Norton - you & Davis were in Vietnam during the same period as my parents were, during the late 60s to early 70s. My dear departed dad had lots of black & white pics from that era - which reminds me that I should go through his stuff, look for those pics, scan them and save them on a drive.

    I liked the vibe in Hue - more relaxed and provincial than Hanoi or Saigon. It was certainly not as chaotic to cross its streets!

    The Imperial City is among the must-see things in Hue. It was certainly beautiful and impressive. However, since I've been to several palaces/ temple complexes in Asia, there was this same-same feeling. (Oh no, am I becoming too jaded?!)

    Bun Bo Hue is a noodle dish with pork, beef and congealed pig's blood, with a side dish of banana heart and bean sprouts. The soup is flavored with lemon grass. It's a specialty of Hue and my mom introduced me to it several years ago, during my first visit to Vietnam. Yum!
