Mom & I watched an episode of #DeadliestRoads last night. The episode was the Green Gold in #Vietnam episode. We both laughed when we saw the man loading & transporting a lot of weaved fishing traps, on his #bicycle. It reminded us of one of Mom's younger brothers, my 3rd Uncle, on matriarch side. He transported fishing traps that my Aunties made in the village & would pedal all day, mostly on rough rural paths, to get them to nearest town market to sell. He would be gone a week, staying in town until traps were sold, before bicycling back to the village.

I made a gif of screenshots of how the fish traps are packed on his bicycle & him on the bicycle during the journey.

@PhoenixSerenity Oh wow. I mean, they're probably fairly light because they look to be woven and empty, but what a silhouette
@sinituulia They're light, individually. Not as light when you're packing 200 of them & trying to keep everything balanced while bicycling for hours through not the best roads. I'd totally fail, trying to do it 🤣
