Morning on Lake Hoan Kiem

I’ve been up early most mornings and have gone for a walk around the lake (Hoan Kiem) that is near my hotel. Every morning the path that goes around the lake is full of people walking, streaching, doing Tai Chi, lifting weights and being social. Most of the sidewalks around the neighborhood are marked off in badmitten courts and at 6:00am most are set up and full of foursomes playing.
