ベトナムの朝：開店準備 (Morning in Vietnam: before opening shops)

---

写真の記録を見ると７時半くらいに撮影したものです。夜が暇なので早
起きです。

皆さん、多分、今日は儲かるようにと祈りながら開店準備を進めている
ことでしょう。

一番右の親父さんは余裕をかましていますね。商品回転率が極端に低
い骨董品の商売なので、慌てても仕方ないということでしょう。ある程度
お金が貯まるとこのようなのんびり商売もいいかなと思います。

According to a record, this photo was taken around at 7:30. Since I
had nothing to do in the night, I woke up early.

I think that probably everybody is opening his/her shop or stand,
praying that s/he can make money on that day.

By the way, a man in the right edge of the photo seems to be relaxed.
Since stock turnover is extremely low in this antique business, he
seems to understand that he has no choice but to wait. After I make
money to some extent, it is not a bad idea to do this kind of slow
business.
