Upon entering the last Emporer's Summer Palace in Dalat, an immaculate 1930's art deco building, we were asked to put cloth shoe covers on our feet. Although they did make me look like a smurf, the upside was that they were perfect for sliding on the polished parquet floors!
Unlike in the UK, once inside we were allowed to wander pretty much all over, even sitting in their chairs and hammocks.
Walking back from the Palace, we saw some uniformed cadre's practising their marching drill. I don't know if it was his Vietnamese military cap, or just friendliness, but as they passed by a few cadre's saluted Kim.
Lounging in royal hammocks and recieving military salutes? - it'll all go to his head y'know.
