June 3. For stories about Hue, not here.

We visit the old city of Hue. Since this is a typical torist attraction and unlikely to generate any other story that what you will find by looking for Hue, I will pragmatically change the subject.
And why not? He has been lecturing about reality and related concepts for over fifteen years now. What withheld him …

Cornflakes and coffee, and it’s already ten. Lazy bastards, you think. Where’s the early morning gymnastics, the 2-mile-walk, the 150 pushups and the rigor-vigor?

Shaun, a friendly Australian guy living here offers us his little vintage motorbike in the morning, and we gladly accept that enhancement of our mobility.
We will be taking that green bike to the friendship bridge and back today. Not that there’s much to see – the friendship bridge is essentialy a concrete corridor secured by …
