People who had been visiting Vietnam for business or travel when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out were stranded but found jobs to survive.
In the last few months people passing by the corner of Tran Hung Dao and Tran Dinh Xu streets in HCMC have got used to seeing five Indian men working as valets at a parking lot.
The men, in black uniforms and hats, carefully walk customers’ motorbikes and give them tokens with big smiles. I have worked here for nearly four months and will keep working until I have enough money to go home, Ashok Kumar, 40, says, explaining he and the others were stranded in Vietnam due to the pandemic and ran out of money.
