Vientiane zumba

While R stayed in the hotel & worked on his app, 'Got a Team,' C & I decided to join in the Mekong-facing zumba fun at Vientiane.  This was great fun & really hard work.  There were so many people doing this exercise class & people kept joining until almost the end of the session.  It was a little difficult to keep up with the class because of a few factors:
1) general unfitness
2) unfamiliarity with the moves & timing of particular exercises
3) the fact that all of the teacher's calls were in Lao & we only know a few words
4) the various levels of capability of the people within view.  It took a bit of time to try out various people to watch to follow the moves.  After a few tries, I settled on a woman who had the timing right & who was easy to follow
5) the small amount of space in which to exercise which got smaller as the class progressed

Despite these challenges, it was a great use of time & something that I was happy to repeat in our time in Vientiane.
