Officially hot and sweaty

So I am currently in Hue, Vietnam where my dad was born. We've been going around seeing his old friends and relatives. I suspect I have fallen asleep at almost every place we visited on account of the verbose talks they always have that last hours. It is extremely hot from about 1 to 4pm, which is about when we go back to the hotel and nap. I've noticed that practically every car is a stick shift. Also, the people here are extremely rude! Earlier, when I was on the computer, there were about 5 kids right behind me looking at me emailing a friend... I was thinking in my head, "Are you seriously kidding me?" But of course they didn't understand English to know what I was typing. But still, I was pretty petrified. I wanted to tell them off, but my broken Vietnamese would only embarrass myself even more. People would always push me or run into me without saying a word. Wow. >.<
I have also noticed that there are quite a few white people here touring around the city. This is considered a pretty small city and it amazes me at how there are still a lot of tourists! There is a nice bridge here that changes colors at night.. and lots of temples to visit. But anyways, TV here is pretty good. There is the Disney Channel, HBO, and Starz. I have actually been watching tennis on Starz Sports! Gotta love that Novak DJ-okovic. ;]
