select few demanded my attention. Here

Discovering Central Vietnam
Having
finished an event filled few weeks in Southern Vietnam, it was time for us to
make our way to our last section of the country; the central region. This would be our last bit of time in
Vietnam, but it would also be one of its most eventful. What had originally been planned for only a
one-week tour turned into almost three.
Demilitarized Zone
Visiting
the former Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
in Vietnam is a look into a very significant chapter of Vietnamese and U.S.
history. This dividing line between North
and South Vietnam, despite its name, became the most militarized area in the
world and saw some of the heaviest and bloodiest battles of the war.

10 Must Try Foods in Hue
All you need to plan for this next vacation is a love
for food. Vietnamese food varies
a lot from region to region, but nowhere has more of a distinctive cuisine and
unique dishes as Hue. Once the royal
seat of the emperors and the capital of Vietnam, chefs turned out 50 course
meals day after day for the emperors.
Due to this, of the almost 3000 dishes Vietnam produces, about 2/3 of
them originated in Hue, and many of them never left. This creates a foody paradise just waiting to
be explored. Below, I’ve rounded up my
10 must try foods in Hue.
