thanks for the link!
the picture of the woman with the suitcase on her head & the baby on her back reminds me of the way women do things where i come from.
did women carry things on their heads around here in the past? it’s really a very convenient way of doing things if you don’t have transport. & it’s good for your posture too.
Great pictures.
Alice, ajummas still carry stuff around on their heads. The ones who deliver food do it all the time, even in Seoul. They have a pretty good balancing act going on a lot of the time.
