Once every few months, the authorities in Vung Tau shut down power for an entire day. They put notices in Vietnamese and expect all the foreigners in the buildings to understand. So, off goes the electricity on a warm morning when I have a bucket-load of things to do.
The owner of my favourite cafe asks me to come back the next day. I have deadlines to meet but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. Calmly I enjoy the cool breeze from the South China Sea. This is a good day to appreciate the serenity and peace of the southern Vietnamese boomtown.
The sea is always blue and life seems even slower than normal with most businesses not having a generator to carry on.
