Perhaps she recycles paper.
To rest, she sits on the sidewalk on a piece of the ubiquitous low red or blue plastic furniture--a stool or a low chair. Plastic makes sense in Vietnam given that the weather is always hot (at least by standards set by the northeast US) and that when it rains, it rains. Think a rain whiteout.
But all Vietnamese can squat--in effect, sitting without a piece of furniture. Which is to say they don't need furniture in order to rest.
Life is lived on the street.
