I saw two women walking the street. They put their own basket on their head while they were walking. I was impressed by their ways of walking.

Unlike in Japan, I saw many people walking while they put their burden on the head in Southeastern Asia. At first, it was out of common for me. Yet I became accustomed to the custom soon. To put something on the head to carry might have a long history and a traditional behavior of human beings.
