At first glace this place looked like it would be very boring. After a day, I quickly changed my disposition. This was the old Imperial Capital of Vietnam and the structures of the Emperors just outside of the city are amazing…..Couple that with the countryside and a quiet beach with all the seafood you can possibly eat….This makes for a very fun time.
The food was equally as good as as I ate at a Class A Restaurant that was cheap called Risottos. This place has just about anything you want to eat from American, to Italian, to Traditional Vietnamese at a very affordable price.
Other food I ate was at the beach, which cost me a whopping 24 dollars with 8 beers included and a bucket of ice:
Also I went to a little known restaurant with some local friends that had goat cooked every which way you can imagine. Truly heaven on earth!!!!!
The hotel I stayed at was very small (11 Rooms), but honestly, do you want a big fancy hotel? Or rather a hotel that makes you feel at home bringing you a fresh wet cloth when you enter from being in the sweltering heat and greeting you with a glass of fresh fruit juice? Couple that with great and kind service of the staff, this was a hotel that was amazing and that I would actually live at!!!!!!
