We met a Danish man at our hotel today and went for a walk
with him. He took us to a produce market (called a wet market). It was lots of
fun. Mounds of dried fungus, hopping frogs and boiling pots of pho. He’s been
coming to Vietnam for many years as part of a research project about type 2
diabetes. Like everywhere in the world, diabetes is rising rapidly here. There are
a bunch of reasons including diet, exercise and people living longer. The lack
of exercise is a big issue. The sidewalks are filled with wares and scooters
and the streets are so busy that elderly don’t leave the house much.
