Wherever we go; Vietnamese woman are always working, on the move to sell their wares, sweeping the gutters, removing general rubblish, collecting recyclable material, mixing the mortar or operating pulley systems on building sites and sculling small boats on the rivers. 
The men seem to spend a more relaxed life in the cafes, drinking beer or coffee.
