Ann’s latest postcard from Indochina is from the city of Hue.

The people of Hue even have their own cuisine: one of the Emperors commanded…
Thanks to The American Lieutenant for this review of Trattoria Al Sile in Treviso: We were on our way back to Treviso airport after skiing in Arabba, in the Dolomites and a friend of ours, an artist from Malta called Pawlu Carabonara, advised us to have lunch at this restaurant. We booked (advisable) a table for…

Whilst she’s out there, she’s sending back a series of postcards to BBS Towers, describing what the accessibility is like in the region. After her first stop in Phnom Penh, she’s moved on…
