It never ceases to amaze me and to watch the people who pass by carrying items on their heads. It seems everyone one carries their loads this way. Can you do that too? I ask my friends at Global Relief. Of course they say. It doesn't matter, male or female, old or young, everyone walks around this way.... And then I learned there was ONE exception, one tribe somewhere in Nigeria, who doesn't - they think the head is sacred and one must not put items on it. I think, "Boy they must think the rest of Nigeria society is crazy, for disrespecting the sacredness of their heads, can you imagine?"
Its a beautiful art.
Oh the things you see, on people's heads... smiles. These boys are selling peanuts, and bananas. I have seen watermelons, coconuts, eggs, and the sorts carried along, on the head of a small boy or girl. Selling bits of food for a living.
This man is selling household items. But mostly anti-malaria gimics, mosquito repellent, etc.
