In my point of view, I think that like most elderly people in Vietnam, they don't like to collect or store things because they have much more to care about. I think collecting or storing things is more popular in other countries, but it's not as popular in Vietnam. I mean, in Vietnam, most elderly people spend most of their time taking care of their health or they just want to tend to plants in the garden. They just prefer to do something more relaxing, you know.
