People taking time-off, Vietnam

People of Vietnam are generally a hard working bunch. Of Viet / Kinh origin or ethnic minorities, it does not matter. They are fighting hard and fairly for their survival, success and improvement of their lives. And they are doing it under relentlessly hard sun, damp and heavy air, even waist deep in the water (such as Mekong river delta) and in the thickest of the jungles. So it’s only natural that they get tired and take some private time off. And even that, the time-off, they do in stile. Be it sleeping on the motorbike parked in the shade or lying on the scooter reading a newspaper.
