Had a well weird evening last night. Our guide reccomended a reataurant where we could eat 'royal Hue court food' and listen to some traditional music.
When we got there it turned out we had to dress up as imperial mandarins and mandarinas and process into the dining room. Much embarrasment and amusement followed. Mostly embarrasment.
The whole evening was a bit of a wierd event. The band we had playing for us looked sooo pissed off. The lad playing the Vietnamese violin looked like he was only there because his parents had made him. They were all also having a bit of a chat among themselves during the different numbers. It was like watching a Rep Club christmas show rehearsal. Sadly the food was also the worst we've had so far, which was a surprise as even the food in the little roadside cafes has been excellent.
Oh and the vegetarians got brought meat kebabs and I got a huge prawn in a pot. So they still haven't quite worked that business out yet.
I think in future I'll stick to the Lonely Planet reccomendations and avoid the places suggested by Mr Hua.
