That's using your head!

I'm sure that the blogs will slow down as we get more accustomed to the differences between Lubumbashi and Tempe, but today I want to show you something that is totally normal here, but never seen there. We call it "using your head."
In Africa people carry things on their heads. It actually makes total sense and is quite smart. Almost nobody has means of transportation, so they walk everywhere and take things with them on their heads. Sometimes they have a little bean-bag-like thing that they use to help balance and sometimes they just throw things up there and go for it. Many venders walk around with things to sell in pans or baskets on their heads. So, here are some examples.
