Last Days in Hue

What do you do when you only have a few days left in a place you have come to love and appreciate??

Here's what I did during my last days in Hue:

- Ate as much delicious Hue foods as I could from street food and sidewalk coffee to home cooked Vietnamese meals to my favorite Vietnamese restaurants (you're not really surprised by this one, are you? :)
- Countryside motorbike ride to no where in particular, the main purpose being to just drive, drive, drive and experience real Vietnamese life as it happens outside the city walls
- Sang my heart out at karaoke with friends
- Chatted, laughed and shared stories with good friends at some of the city's best coffee shops from the luxurious 5-star Imperial hotel cafe located on the top floor, offering an incredible view of Hue city, to a hidden bamboo cafe situated on a secluded lotus flower lake
- Last dance at the city's only late night expat/tourist dance club with friends jamming and dancing away 'til the early morning

While my adventure in Vietnam has literally ended in the fact that I am now back home, the people and culture of Vietnam have certainly made an impact on me -- my likes, my perspectives, my way of life. So, while my original purpose for writing this blog -- to tell all of my adventures while in Vietnam -- has now ended, there is still so much to tell. And so much that I'm sure I have yet to realize and recall now that I am back at home and not immersed in the fascinating Vietnamese culture.

So, stay tuned for more soon :)
