Visiting Uncle Ho's residence confirms my suspicions: the Vietnamese do indeed live simple lives. For example, they don't believe in cushions or mattresses. Hence, their couches and chairs have hard seats and their beds consist of a rattan mat placed over the supporting woodwork. They also don't use air-conditioners: contented instead with a table fan underneath the mosquito net suspended over the bed. I think it's a great idea.
