    Interesting pint - i am currently in Vietnam for about the 30th time.

    No welfare
    No pensions
    Work 6 days every week
    Only 2 weeks holiday and can not be taken in single hits
    Impossible for young people to buy a home - 60% deposit needed
    Average wage about $400 a month.

    BUT
    No homelessness that l have ever seen.
    No street violence that l have ever seen
    Have not noticed Mental Health issues , but know one family with a badly mental affected son , and he works 6 days a week carrying bricks
    Yet to see much drunkeness , and certainly never drugs - Coffee is their thing.
    Everyone seems very happy , polite , smiling and very friendly

    Not sure the West has it right - why so much mental health problems in Australia ??
