Night in Hue. Slicky and thick, and the mozzies are starting to come out. Guess thêre's not much to worry about on the coast, but starting to look at them a little more suspicisously. As for Hue, alot less hustle and bustle then Hanoi, although still more than enough grifters hounding you to buy something you don't want. As soon as you show the least bit of interest in anything, for example if a bike carrier guy is hounding you that you need a ride with him, and if you make the mistake of asking how much, then his making up the seat for you and coraling you in. On the other hand, alot more people tend to speak english and a lot more people will say hello. Today we were all pretty worthless in the afternoon, After the 12 hour bus ride we decided to get off before our scheduled stop in Hue and toke a tour the DMZ (demiliterization zone), where the heaviest conflicts of the war toke place. quite sureal to say the least. We toured through a network of North Vietinemese tunnels that they lived in for 18 months: birthed children thêre, etc....have to write more later something is seriously ưởng ưith this keyboard. Keep having to corect all these strange characters that kêp appearing....though all í s ưell and on to Laos tomorrow after another 12 hours of bus rides. Good night Vietnam.
