In Bali, the local women have a variety of capabilities, including one carrying large weights, mostly balancing them on top of their heads.

They don't just transport fruits and vegetables from place to place, but also heavy equipment and bulk stocks. They seem to be very fluent in such a skill, telling me that they had most probably begun the tradition since young.

Some say that's how real women should walk, with a book on their heads, not letting it tip over. But these aren't just books, the items they carry range up to weights of a television.

If a Balinese kid could do something like that, can you imagine what kind of skill he'd possess when he becomes an adult?
