Nha Trang : most beautiful sea I've ever seen

Welcome to Nha Trang and its gorgeous beaches :)) Very touristy but aren't they all? This is where I behaved completely like a tourist. Except that unlike the other tourists, we woke up at 5 am to go for a swim, like all the locals do. After 8 am, the beach are empty except for the White tourists who want to tan (or rather, burn) all day. Between 11 am and 3 pm, there is no one in the streets : much too hot and people are all taking a most welcome nap. Btw, no one wears a bikini except Western tourists (think Australia or France) who have their own area of the beach. So I adapted-- I wore a t-shirt over my bikini.
Also, Nha Trang has a strong tradition of communist activism. In the evening, there were propaganda concerts and shows just right on the beach. Quite a crowd stopped driving their motorcylces, parked in front of the stage and listened religiously. One night, I was walking along the beach, listening to the waves, admiring the stars and finding cute the couples of lovers bunched togeter on the sand. There was the distant sound of music coming from one of those proganda shows. Suddenly, I heard a familiar tune. It was The Internationale. Gave us all a jolt, especially my parents. All that next to cafe's and bars for tourists and the rich. Contrast, once again.
