March 13 Nha Trang - Waking Up With A Shout

As we work up this morning, I thought there was a fire alarm. We were on the 8th floor and our window was open a bit. All of a sudden I could hear shouting and a number of people. It was 5 AM so it was startling. I went over to the windows which overlook the beach, concrete boardwalk along side and 4 lane road between us. I was very surprised to see the road and boardwalk crowded with Vietnamese people obviously out for their early morning exercise.

Most of them were doing a brisk walk but some were participating in a number of beach front activities in an exercise circuit along the boardwalk and a grassy area.

Several brave souls were out swimming in the ocean...one looked like he was drowning as he raised his arms in the air...but I finally figured out it was the backstroke. We have found the Vietnamese people to be a very happy, health conscious people so this should not have really surprised me. Perhaps we could take some lessons from them (have you ever seen an overweight Vietnamese person ?).
