In a sculpture of polo players, the Chams’ origin from the islands of South East Asia was evidenced. As in the art of Java’s Borobudur, the horsemen here were animated in contrast to the size and weightiness of the horses.
In the mist of the early morning I could see boats transporting people and cargo against the backdrop of the city to the market on the bank of river.
In narrow walkways of the market, women were dicing, cutting, preparing [33] and selling produce, meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and cooked food.
The residence of the French commanding general in Hue is still standing on the other bank of the river from the Tombs and the Citadel. It is called La Residence. In the American war it became the residence of the American commanding General, William Westmoreland. Almost facing this edifice on the other side of the street is Vietnam’s most famous high school, Quoc Hoc.
Later I went for a walk along the Perfume River fronting the hotel. From the bridge, the river was majestic.
The hotel brochure quaintly promised such amenities (conforte de la chambre) as desk with a lamp (bureau avec lampe) - alas, it was too dim for reading. In the halls of the hotel with an old picture of one of the Morin Freres looking self-satisfied.
