However, sometimes it still continues to confirm the old stereotypes. While waiting for the Fourth Industrial Revolution to arrive, Vietnamese have been forced to be creative.
Horse-drawn carriages traveling peacefully through security checkpoints on a Vietnamese street shows how traditions take time to die out.
If a horse isn't around, a buffalo suits as well.
There’s no need for air conditioners either, just tie enormous bags with ice which are eco-friendly and don't make any annoying sound.
In Vietnam anything can be transported by bike, even hundreds of dozens of fragile eggs.
Can anyone carry hundreds of eggs on their bike? This seems to be the norm in Vietnam… http://t.co/3l0lr6Otqk pic.twitter.com/v4MKGjrfhf

Friends can be better than a seat belt sometimes.
Or four-legged friends.
A bicycle can come to the rescue when a more high tech scooter breaks down.
Enormous plastic bags also allow for anything to be carried by hand, like bread, if there are no bicycles.
What can move on wheels in Vietnam? A roof.
Even if normal vehicles are spotted in Vietnam, they act weird – like this bus driving on two and a half wheels.
Duct tape repairs anything, even planes.
There are traffic lights, but they are not well regarded in Vietnam.

Haircuts can happen anywhere.
