Hard working Ha Noi

One of the things that impresses me the most about Ha Noi is how hard working the people are. Most get up at 5 a.m. to go to their jobs. There is a lot of building going on here, and most of it is done by manual labor. During my tours I have seen many men moving cartloads of dirt and gravel, digging out areas with shovels, chiseling brick to break them up. I only saw a few earth moving machines.
Most of the clean up is also done by hand. There are many street sweepers out keeping the streets tidy, but I only saw one street sweeper on the main boulevard.
The children at the village are hard working too. They sew and embroider items, and use broken pieces of pottery to cut the cloth.
