Hue

We spent the last two days in Hue in central Vietnam visiting the famous Nguyen Dynasty masoleums and a copy of the forbiden city know as the citadel. Each of the emperors created a tomb for himself along the Perfume River. Some of architecture pomp is quite impressive, however it does appear that the Vietnamese are not taking very good care of their historical buildings. Many of them are suffering from deterioration through the elements and human damage. This is unfortunate, especially since they are charging plenty of money for entrace fees... I guess some corrupt government official is getting the good end of the deal (Note: the common "blame it on the government" excuse).
