Festival Hue Through The Lens of a Singaporean Photographer
By the time I visited Hue, I’d been to HCMC and Hanoi, which I greatly enjoyed. But the beauty of Hue and the friendliness of its people showed me a very different side of Vietnam.
The scale of the Hue Festival also suggested to me that its people were capable of organising world class events. And, of course, the food was delicious. Because I was busy making photographs, I only managed to eat at roadside stalls, and yet, the food often tasted like fine dining. Though I thoroughly loved the festival, I’d like a chance to encounter the cultural events close-up, i.e. instead of just having big shows, I’d like to experience more intimate performances and workshops on the various art forms.

of course like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I’ll definitely come back again.
Thanks.
