Morning in the big city

A few numbers for you to ponder. There are 38 million people here in Canada, 8.3 million people just in the city of Hanoi. My home province of British Columbia has only 4.6 million people in a land mass just shy of three times the size of the entire country of Vietnam. Gives a bit of perspective on density and why so much of daily life in Vietnam takes place outside, including early morning exercise.

On my Sunday morning photo walk we saw several organized fitness classes, groups doing ballroom dancing, Tai Chi, martial arts, solo meditation and individually unique exercises - a few of which were puzzling.
