Time

By Sam Stein | Published January 18, 2014

Time. As we wrap up our time in Hoi An, our group had a discussion yesterday about three different themes of our trip thus far. During this discussion, the value of time in Vietnam versus the value of time in the United States was brought up. This subject raised a lot of questions in my mind. In Vietnam, time is not valued as high as it is in the United States. For example, we went on various trips where we would get into small boats- about 2 people per boat, and we would be taken on either a tour of a fishing village or caves, or the local agriculture. There are roughly 28 people on our trip, which would account for 14 boats, and 14 rowers to row the boats. In america, this would never happen. A group of 28 would pile onto one motor boat with one driver, or in some unlikely cases split up into two groups onto two motor boats. In America, time is at such a high value that we would never waste time employing 14 people for one job while we can employ 1 or 2 people to do that same job in the same amount of time.
The value of time is a major difference in the economy of Vietnam. With the value of time being much lower, it means that Vietnam can and does employ more people then necessary sometimes, while in America we rarely see any place over staffed. I think that having many employers is beneficial for an economy like Vietnam’s because it supplies more people with jobs, leaving less people in search of jobs. One of my favorite parts of this trip has been the boat rides that we have been on because of how personal they were, and Vietnam is a special place because of this.
