Hanoi, Vietnam March 2020.
The Vietnamese are masters at the art of catching Zzz’s. Oh to be able to sleep like that, draped over a motorbike, perched on a chair, sitting behind a stall. Jokingly they say they can sleep anywhere. These pictures seem to prove it!
Hahaha what a great collection of nappers!

They’ve certainly mastered the art of the power nap!

Haha! I love this collection. If only they knew someone was shouting these snapshots. And, as long as they don’t fall asleep WHILE driving. 🙂 Nice start of the week, Trace!

I did wonder what they might think if they saw themselves in these pictures, but it’s so normal there, to see people having a snooze, don’t think they’d mind too much!

I love this post and how you’ve grouped all these photos together around a similar theme!
I wish I could sleep that easily, though just looking at that guy so precariously balanced on his motorcycle makes me nervous 😀

It’s been said by those in the know, that a quick wink or two revives our body. I am yet to realise that as I can’t sleep during the day no matter how tired I am. The images portray Vietnamese life to a “T”, well, the quieter side of it 🙂 Good to read a post from you, realised I hadn’t done so when I liked your post!!

Nice bouquet of sleeping shots in Viet Nam… Definitely a Vietnamese feature of life. I recall with fondness going to the clothing part of the market in Hoi An during the heat of the day, and finding everyone asleep on tables, floors, piles of clothes. What was I thinking … going there mid day during nap time. Terrific post. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks Peta. I loved taking all these nap photos. I think it’s terrific how they can just catch forty winks like that. Hope you are doing well, where you are.

Great photos! I was thinking about the difference here in Japan. So much busy-work! It would be hard to get similar shots. That was interesting to me.
