Today is a very tired day.
We're focused on the economy today, and will visit two factories and speak with a senior bank official. The American Standard toilet factory is a model of efficiency located amid the chaos of Vietnam's broken-down rural road system and spotty power grid. It is one of American Standard's most efficient factories, but has not yet turned a profit. To see another side of Vietnamese industry, we tour a local scissors factory, which is a state- owned enterprise. It is rather primitive, but does apparently make a bit of money exporting scissors to all corners of the world.
