Effie, glad that you had a memorable trip to Vietnam overall! Just one thing about the white lies about Hue though, I would suggest you should not take the names literally. They have their own cultural meanings as well as the sites you mentioned, they could be interesting to someone but not others. Same goes for My Son, it is not grandeur as other sites but culturally and historically, it is indeed very significant.

Turkey's diplomatic ambitions dwarf its real achievements

I find it amazing Turkies PM making comment recieves such condemnation where as Mr. Obama addresses ezyptican as if US runs ezyptian politics. Let no one forget Mr. Sarkosie's statment where he basically try to musk age old colonialist mindset by attampting to cite interest of the west. It would be naieve to think US and European policy maker under the influence of zionist lobby likes what it is happening in ezypt. The zionist enitity can not keep citing it is the only democracy to justify every single act of UN and human rights violation. West have been propping up dictators in South America and elswhere. The rise of islamophobia in Europe, supported by the zionist is subtle way to shore up public support so any legitimate uprising is deemed as anti western. and hence carry on supporting regiemes infavor of western/zionist islamophobic policies.
