This isn't really Africa, however I found these images on Corbis. I found it rather fasinating that Hiatian women still carry baskets on their heads & still (appear) to have a lot of their African culture................

You see the second picture you have well that scene can also be witnessed in Jamaican market places as well and other caribbean islands

1. I actually got the pictures out of order. I wanted to have a section only for women with baskets on their heads however I couldn't find anymore so I gave up and pasted the crowd scenes.

2. Honestly, I haven't seen anypictures of Jamicians carrying baskets on their heads. However, I SHOULDN'T be surprised I guess. I saw a Nike commerical of Jamicia and find it rather "2worldish". (excuse my wording). Normally when I see images of the Carribean its normally the TOURIST SECTION. LOL. The beautiful blue beaches, the expensive resorts, the jerk chicken.......................

I guess I need to learn more abou the "local" section.
