On Danny's first day at work, he was having a conversation with a coworker in an office when some music started playing over the intercom. Danny thought, "man, what is this loud, annoying music that is playing? What is going on? How do people get any work done?" As Danny and the man exited the office, Danny noticed that everyone in the surrounding offices were standing and doing some sort of exercise to the music. The man that Danny was chatting with continued their conversation while he joined in the stretches that seemed to be in memorized sequence. Danny just kind of stood there hoping he wasn't being culturally offensive by not following suit. But now he knows that everyday at work at 8:55am he is going to hear that same music and stand and join his coworkers in their daily stretching exercises.
Check out this video for a glimpse of the daily stretches. Enjoy a good laugh as you imagine Danny and his coworkers doing this at work every morning. Maybe you could start something new at your office!

It appears that Seoul if very much into the health of their nation...which is a good thing. You probably don't encounter too many unhealthy individuals there!
