Today in Hue it's HOT. I mean like really, really hot. In the forties hot. I had to rent a motorbike to go to Thanh Tien today, the idea of going there by bicycle was too daunting. I felt a little wimpy about this until the following happened:

- The water in my water bottle was warmer than my mouth: i.e. not refreshing.
- When I got back from the village and entered by hotel room, I was hit by cool air (to the point where I shivered!), when I looked at my alarm-clock-turned-thermometer it read 36 degrees!!
