    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 speciality of Hue and my mom introduced me to it several years ago, during my first visit to Vietnam. Yum!

    @Betty - Hue was nice, yes, quiet and peaceful during the day. The vicinity where my hotel was located turned into a party town at night - which wasn't too bad.

    @vocal neal - I haven't seen a Saigon Red - it exists? I've only seen the greens. So far, I've had Hanoi, Huda, Huda Ice, and Saigon green beers.

    Danang beach had a very commercial feel about it. Seeing it lit up at night made me think it was like a Las Vegas by the beach. Lots of 4 or 5 star hotels on the beach front. I guess I like my beaches to be more primitive, more nature stuff. Maybe like Anawangin Cove, but with small a/c rooms or resorts. There were also lots of tourists - whites, Chinese, Koreans. But then, to each his/her own.

    Thanks to anyone who will repost.
