Life in Vietnam has changed dramatically over the past few decades. In the past, most Vietnamese
people lived in small villages and worked as farmers. They lived in simple houses made of wood and
bamboo. Family members often lived together in one house, with three generations under the same
roof. They usually woke up very early to work in the rice fields.
Transportation was basic - people mainly walked or used bicycles to get around. For entertainment,
children played traditional games in the village square, while adults enjoyed folk music and traditional
festivals. Most people cooked their meals using firewood, and they ate simple but healthy food grown
in their gardens.
