Questions about Huê

This whole post is comprised of questions, can you figure out why?

Have you ever been to Huê? (did you know it's pronounced Whey?)

Have ya arrived somewhere wishing you'd learnt more before you'd come?

Have you heard of the Nguyen Dynasty that made Huê the capital of Vietnam a long while back?

Would you like to walk around the moated citadel that's 550m by 600m?

How would you feel if you spent 45 minutes trying to find this central citadel, but got stuck in the labrynth of rivers, canals, and moats?

Would you have a laugh if Huê's Perfume River actually smelled a bit yuck?

Would you gladly pay the parking attendant at the gate to watch your motorbike, only to then be told in sign language to walk around to the other side of the citadel where the actual entrance gate is?

How would you camouflage taking a photo in the palace when the sign clearly says 'No photos'?  (Anyone think we were naughty?!)

Would you nick a 5000 dong (30 cents) bag of fish food if the table was unattended?

Would you play I spy with the Emporer's overfed goldfish?  (so ... How long was that fish-food attendant actually gone for?!)

Would you mind if you saw an impressive audio-visual animation, and then when you went outside to look at the real thing, realise that all the pretty stuff was bombed a few decades ago?  

How soon would you realise you were lost in these long corridors?

Would you like to play Spot the Difference in the next two photos?

Could you imagine that the Emporer's Forbidden Purple Palace used to be on this site?  

How ready to go home would you be at this point?  Wouldn't you also prefer to read our really cool book, in the air conditioned comfort of our hotel?

How long would you last walking around in the muggy 35 degree celsius heat?

Would you pay three times the price for a bottle of water?

If you had a pretty average time in this place would you still blog about it?!

When you went out for dinner during a thunderstorm in Huê would you feel sorry for the waitress who put a plastic tub down under the gushing burst pipe, only to watch it float away on the tide rapidly engulfing the restaurant?

Can you name these vegetarian dishes, using the clues in the menu below?

And, last question... if you'd been walking around in stinky puddles all day, would your socks be able to stand up for themselves?
