I appreciate that you are blogging and letting the rest us of tag along. <br /><br />The silk worms intrigue me as well as the question of why the moss does not grow on the original bricks. Things that make you go hmmmmm?<br /><br />And I'd never seen fresh peanuts or where sesame seeds come from so I learned something too.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-16685250106716858282011-04-05T09:41:10.671+12:002011-04-05T09:41:10.671+12:00Bob:

The hotel we resided at in Hue was the old French Colonial Governor's residence. My next post in 24 hours or so will show some of the beautiful old French architecture down south in Saigon where it's beautifully maintained.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-23977403990767469702011-04-04T20:54:36.712+12:002011-04-04T20:54:36.712+12:00Geoff

I can't imagine the work that goes into them, start to finish. <br /><br />I agree the architecture is amazing, and that's interesting about the old and new bricks. I wonder what the secret is. Once again, a great report on a beautiful, and culturally rich area.Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-52417493658471441442011-04-04T17:53:26.049+12:002011-04-04T17:53:26.049+12:00Cheers Roger!

Also very easy to talk complete bollocks :-).<br /><br />You can say that again - NZ$90 for 2 pairs of high quality material.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-34967685451380947662011-04-04T15:42:29.512+12:002011-04-04T15:42:29.512+12:00Thanks Dan!
