| Exploring the temple ruins at My Son |
On our last morning in Hoi An, before taking the train two and a half hours back up north to Hue, we visited the ancient Cham Hindu temples at My Son. The shapes of the monuments made me think of pictures I had seen of Angkor. There used to be 70 structures, but after bombing during the war (it was a Viet Cong base), only 20 are still standing. The site was cleared of UXO just 10 years ago and huge bomb craters still remain.
