which is probably not the right term but I since I don't know what it is I've decided to make up my own.
Also, I joined a gym. Yep, after nearly 6 months I've started to act like I live in this city. The gym is amazing. For $225 USD I get 6 months of unlimited zumba, bellydance, pool, sauna, yoga (5 different kinds), and best of all...kickboxing and grappling*. Grappling is more like no-gi BJJ, which I was never super comfortable with, and kickboxing is a weird Krav Maga but it's fighting and I love it! I signed up this past Friday after weeks of people wrangling. If you get a group of 8+ people to sign up at the same time you get major discounts. So with 'better late than never' in my mind I wrangled, pushed, prodded, lost hope, found it again and we finally joined the gym. Or should I say paradise? It's located in The Manor, which is condominium complex located in Binh Thanh District. I signed up on Friday and have been every day since, except for Saturday and Sunday because I work all day. It gets me out of my apartment, I see more of the city during my daily xeom/taxi rides, I'm getting more physical activity than I've had over the past six months and I just feel amazing after working out. As usual, I don't know how to take it easy and almost puked after kickboxing today. It reminded me of my first day of Krav. But it didn't happen then and it didn't happen today. Then I rewarded myself by spending two hours at the pool, swimming laps, doing my usual pool aerobics and practicing my one handed hand stand.
*And about a million other classes.
