Heavy Loads

by FH2o on August 29, 2006

We tend to bitch complain when we have to do chores or run errands that entail physical activities that make us sweat easily in the hot and humid tropical Malaysian climate.

But take a look at these women villagers at Borneo Highlands and the burden(s) that they carry on a daily basis and see if you still want to complain the next time you have to pick up something heavier than your office briefcase or a stack of files.

By the way, besides being a considerate road user, I had more than a passing interest in their welfare and a compulsion to take photographs; I was actually hoping that they had some durians for sale!

Which reminds me of this

Btw, being a considerate road user I thought you were going to say you gave them a ride on top of your kayaks.

I keep expecting to come here & find that your blog is now called Kuching Kayaking (And Smelly Fruit!)

shoot, one of these days I swear I’m gonna have to buy a durian in Chinatown…

Happy Malaysia Day BTW! A little surfer said something about that!

I see old people in my neighborhood carrying heavy loads like that - on their back or bigger ones in a wheel barrow. Makes me feel soft and spoiled.
