Imperial City

So for all of you who wonder why so many Vietnamese have NGUYEN as a last name...there was actually a Nguyen Dynasty that lasted for more than a century (my mom's maiden name is Nguyen btw).

The emporers lived here.


This was one of the emporer's "reading rooms". WOW. I wish I could have a pad like this to just READ. Throw in some cable TV so I can watch my bad reality shows and I would never leave this beautiful building.
