Sorry to say my first thoughts were of a swimming pool.

Yeah that also came to mind.
I had a maintenance job one time in a factory full of women and one day I got a call that one of the toilets in the women's bathroom had backed up and there was water everywhere. Well when I went in there was a ?sinker? so big that it wouldn't go down so I had to get a stick and break it into pieces and flush piece by piece...sorry that's what I thought of when I read the header.
Some memories just stick with you...

I don't have any first hand experience like you do, but the mental image still flashed in front of my eyes.

I tell you what you would think that working with a bunch of women would be cool, sometimes was but most of the time a PITA.

I worked with a bunch of women one time. My biggest problem was keping one from finding out about the other.
Obviously, I was very young, dumb and full of *****. Need I say more.

A ship, sailing past a remote island, spots a man who has been stranded there for several years. The captain goes ashore to rescue the man and notices three huts.
“What’s the first hut for?” he asks.
“That’s my house,” says the castaway.
“What’s the second hut for?”
“That’s my church.”
“And the third hut?”
“Oh, that?” sniffs the castaway. “That’s the church I used to go to.”

Explaining a joke is never funny, but here it goes...
Religious people tend to fight a lot over how their book should be interpreted, thus a new category of that religion is born. E.g. catholics, protestants, reformed... I live in a town with about 3500 people, we used to have two churches, we now have three (because of some fight in one church). A somewhat bigger town a bit further away even has about 12 churches for 14000 people (and that's not all religious people). And a lot of those people go to churches in nearby towns, like mine, because the churches in their own town do something wrong.
Not saying they're all like that, but it happens
Perhaps I just found it to be hilarious because I've seen it happen in my direct environment

Can you see a group of programmers translated half-way round-the-world into some tropical zone all following this schedule ?
"7am - yoga, jogging, reading, etc.
8am - breakfast with friends from the group
9:30am - stand-up meeting at the workspace
9:45am - start morning work session
1pm - lunch at a nearby restaurant or cafe
2pm - work, work, work
6pm - talk from one of our mentors
7pm - dinner and hanging out with the group
8pm - games, movies, or nightlife"[^].
They're going arrive in northern Thailand April 5 for whatever: it will be the bloody-hottest time of year, and the air-pollution is almost always, at that time, horrible (seasonal, deliberately set, fires). Beginning April 13, the north will transmogrify into the four-day water-throwing riot, Songkraan (Thai New Year).
Minds will be blown, of that I'm sure.
I hope I can find where these keyboard-gypsies are staying, and drop in on them, just to grok who they are. I wonder if any of them actually have employers paying for these excursions.

Jogging at 7am?

Coincidently, a friend of mine just recommended I started doing yoga in the morning. He gets up at 5:15 to do this stuff! 
Not being a morning person I responded in the only way that made sense to me: "ARE YOU F****** OUT OF YOUR MIND!? "
I already have trouble getting up at 7:30. I regularly oversleep till 8:30 (and I've tried, but there's really little I can do about it)

I am convinced that each person has an ideal schedule of wakeful and sleep times, and that one of the keys to not feeling like crap in the morning is to find that schedule and keep to it.
Sadly for those around me, my schedule is up at 5:00 a.m. and in bed at 9:00-10:00 p.m. "Early to bed" (got it) "and early to rise" (got that too) "makes a man healthy" (reasonably) "wealthy" (you've got got be kidding) "and wise" (nope).

So you are awake 4-5 hours? And get 19-20 hours of sleep? How do you get any work done?!?

Yeah, I think so too. Unfortunately my sleep schedule is not in line with business hours...
I've been awake until 2 AM last night because I couldn't sleep because I slept until 10 AM yesterday morning (while I slept before 12 PM the night before that!)
I guess I'll go to bed extra early tonight (although tonight my brain will think differently)
I delivered the morning newspaper, having to get up at about 5 AM eac morning, for seven years! Each morning was a struggle. People said "you'll get used to it." Don't you believe it... People asked me if I woke at 5 AM on a sunday too, because waking up at 5 AM was in my system. Hell no! I never woke at 5 AM if I didn't have too!
I may not find my ideal sleep schedule until I'm retired though
