I have seen a lit of crazy foods in my life - from Mutton Brain to Scorpion. At some point I promised myself that I would try most of it.

We were happy to leave Hue despite facing a mammoth 16hour overnight train journey, thankfully booking the best class; soft sleepers. We were lucky to have the bottom beds of a four bed berth and both managed 7-8 hours of sleep - so much better than ... Read more >
