Thanks Peasie!

Nylah in the country they are all this shade. But in the city you find everything else in between. 500 years of Portuguese lighten up the city folk.

Hi, Magixx

I don't post much and mostly just lurk but I had to come and comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to post these pictures and give us your thoughts on Angola. They are beautiful, wonderful, and so much appreciated..especially for those to those of us who probably will never get over to that side of the world!

Bless!

</div></div> not common in jamaica...but they say that children who are carried like this (often all d y while the mother works) tend to be better socialized and less violent.

Carrying small children on your back tied with a towel, blanket, cloth or headscarf is very common throughout Africa.
It allows the woman to go about her business without much interference.

Also it puts the baby to sleep right away. My friend from Zimbabwe, when her daughter wouldn't fall asleep and fuss
would tie her on her back and the girl would immediatelly stop crying and fall asleep. Try it, it works great.
Just make sure seh you tie de ting good so the baby nuh frop out.

As far as carrying stuff on your head, it's only popular in certain African countries. You'll never see it in Kenya,
but everybody does it in Ghana and Angola too. In South Africa you don't see it either. It's actually better for your
spine to carry a load on your head instead of in your hand, as the weight is distributed more evenly.
