Living in Hue<br />
Hue is one of Vietnam’s most exhilarating cities. Bicycles<br />
overloaded with vegetables wheeling down crowded streets,<br />
steaming bowls of beef ‘bun bo’ dished out by the ladle,<br />
while ancient pagodas rise from nearby river banks. Located<br />
centrally, all of Vietnam’s best attractions are within reach<br />
– Lan Ha Bay’s stunning beaches, Hoi An central market’s<br />
famous street food vendors, and the wartime tunnels of Ho<br />
Chi Minh, included.<br />

Living in Cambodia<br />
Cambodia presents Southeast Asian culture at its most vivid.<br />
Explore vine-clad Hindu temples, indulge in fragrant cuisine, or<br />
boat down the mighty Mekong River, spotting gilded palaces<br />
and colourful stilt villages as you go. Venturing into the lush<br />
Cardamom Mountains to glimpse leopards, elephants, and sun<br />
bears is also an opportunity not to be missed.<br />
