The lifestyle of people living in urban areas of big cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi is different from that of people living in rural areas of villages etc. Life in the city is often modern and complicated. City life is busy and most adults are working. The lifestyle is competitive and the daily routine consists of work till the evenings and then spending time with family or friends at night. Most of the inhabitants in the city work at many different positions like secretaries, doctors, teachers, government workers, factory i workers and street vendors etc. The cost of living in the urban areas is more than that in Ji the countryside. Because of this reason, people tend to work hard to make ends meet.
80% of the Vietnamese population lives in rural areas and villages which are scattered ị throughout the lowland’s areas and along the coastal line. In these areas, the way people live on a daily basis is in strong contrast to life in urban areas and larger cities. People work in groups and take up jobs as farmers and fishermen. Everybody is helpful to one another and is involved in a variety of activities such as raising livestock, making handicrafts and farming etc. Along the coastal line, fishermen are very dependent upon the sea as it is their only means of livelihood. These fishermen are thus very hardworking and worship their work. Those people residing in the central highlands or northern mountains live by growing a number of things like rice, coffee, rubber trees and tea etc.
