Unlike life in the countryside which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the
city is modern and complicated. People, from different regions, move to the cities in the hope of
having a better life for them and their children. The inhabitants in city work as secretaries,
businessmen, teachers, government workers, factory workers and even street vendors or
construction workers.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially someone with low income, to work
harder or to take a part-time job. For many people, an ordinary day starts as usual by getting up in
the early morning to do exercise in public parks, preparing for a full day of working and studying,
then immersing in crowed boulevardsK or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning
home after a busy day. They usually live in large houses, or high-rise apartment blocks or even in
a small rental room equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet, telephone, television, and so
on.
Industrialization and modernization as well as global integration have big impact on lifestyle in
the cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of clothes. The "ao dai”-Vietnamese
traditional clothes are no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women's daily life. Instead, jeans,
T-shirts and fashionable clothes are widely preferred.
