Hanoi, Vietnam Travel Video Guide
Hanoi has a 1000 year history as a city. It has been invaded by the
Chinese, French and Japanese. The French Colonial period in particular
has had a noticeable influence on the aesthetics of the City. I visit a
Bia Hoi Bar where I find relief from the constant rush and din. Lan, a
student in International Relations, gives me a half day tour of Hanoi.
We visit the flower market, watch people exercise around Hoan Kiem Lake,
and visit Lan's favorite restaurant, Hai Vuong Quan.

Hue, Vietnam Travel Video Guide
Hue was the ancient imperial city of the Nguyen Dynasty. I visit the
Citadel which once contained the forbidden city, and take a dragon boat
tour along the Perfume River to view the Thien Mu Pagoda and the Tombs
of the Emperors. I meet up with Nhi, a commerce student who takes me to
Thanh Toan Bridge where we meet a fortune teller. Nhi discusses
superstition in Vietnam and we both get our palms read.
