Vietnamese Work Ethic

By cwright16 | Published January 12, 2015

Upon arriving in Vietnam I quickly realized that the Vietnam I had been picturing was very different from what it actually is. Drawing from Paradise of the Blind I had pictured a very underdeveloped country, with dirt roads, villages with very crowded housing and little shops. I did not expect Hanoi to have a city atmosphere flooded with mopeds, cars, buses, and people everywhere. I am continually shocked seeing the amount of people spending their days on the streets, either cooking, trying to shine tourists shoes, or selling various items. Although, the chaos that the combination of these factors creates in Hanoi is the exact opposite of what I expected, the characteristics observed in the communities along the highways did in fact depict my previous expectations. These expectations were merely surface level, I did not know what I would see in terms of people, specifically in the work place. While visiting the pottery shop, I was shocked to see the conditions of the shop as well as the way the people were working. The patience and hardwork of all the workers was something, I think, would be rare to see in the US. Without a complaint the workers sat on the floor, breathing fumes, while doing their assigned task over and over again until the quota was met. An example of this is a group of women tediously painting the pottery, once they were done with one they immediatly put it down and picked up another. This patience can be seen in the Vietnamese people doing all types of work. Another example of this is the people selling goods on the side of the highway. Their income is based mainly off of purchases made by tourists who choose to stop and buy their things. No matter how many tourists decide to stop, the people must sit in their shops all day and wait patiently for a customer. I am excited to see if this trait continues to be so prominent throughout the country as we travel further south.
