Description
This woman is carrying her wares just like they did when I was stationed in Vietnam in 1966-67. While carrying this load they use a particular gait to prevent the loads from swinging. The only thing that has changed is they no longer wear black pajamas, and this particular woman is using a little foot stool to sit on.

Wonderful picture, hope you have more.
A great shot! I remember seeing this very scene in Naha, Okinawa when I was a child. I was telling my prospecting partner about it this past weekend as we were carrying fifty pound buckets of ore down the hill to our campsite.
I don't know if she had black-stained teeth from chewing beetle nuts!
Wonderful shot. I was in high school then.
Great capture of this working lady Sig!!
