After finishing of my morning business with the tailor: some small amendments here and another shirt there, I went with my Swiss friends down to the beach. Renting bicycles we cycled down to the local beach. There they have a perfect business model: you get a free sun umbrella and big chairs to relax in. As service in return they want you to eat something at their restaurant which is a pleasure because the food, well basically the fish is just excellent and you overlook the sea. marvelous. dreamlike.
When we arrived the beach was pretty empty though in the late afternoon it starts to fill up with the locals: boys and girls come with their friends, families come after a long days work (Vietnamese start a day very earlier around 5 am) and, most importantly, the women who sell fish. It works like that: they open a small local restaurant by putting down carpets and blankets or tiny plastic chairs and tables. They carry everything to make a perfect fish dish with them and you even get some cold beers, if you fancy. Very nice.
While the sun is slowly setting, the light getting more and more soft, the heat of the day vanishes, and the smell of grilled fish fills the air you just feel happy.
