Hooted
Hué (of the Vietnamese Huế ) is the old imperial capital of the Vietnam. It is located at the center of the country, just in the south of the famous 17 {{E}} parallel, not far from the sea. The river Sông Hương (River of the Perfumes) crosses it and separates the old city in north from the modern city in the south. Hooted saw primarily fishing and tourism.
The fact that it was capital imperial of Vietnam, the aristocratic culture of the court mandarinale, the smoothness of its poetry and its intellectual agility give to Huê a character a little snob.
