| Like Mr. Long, Mr. Thang, who has been selling tea and rice cakes at Ga Market for the past three years, said that many people are curious about the job he chose, but he doesn't explain much. "As long as I'm earning an honest living, there's nothing to be ashamed of. At first, people find it strange, but after seeing it many times, they get used to it," Mr. Thang said.
