"Mbok" Genteng Traditional Market
>> January 25, 2009
"Mbok.." that's how we called them, or sometimes "Mbak". If you can see in that picture, the woman who carried a basket upon her head, she's is the main topic ! heheh..beside her, the lady wearing a white hijab is my mom =P..
Mbok usually came from Madura, East Java, but then they moved in to Surabaya and earning money for living as a servant in Pasar Genteng Surabaya (Genteng Traditional Market). They offer a help to carry the customer's groceries, put it inside the basket, lift it up upon their head, and they will follow the customer wherever they go until they finished buying the groceries.
There are a lot of "mbok" there, not just her but she's my and my mom's favourite one *wink* lol..I don't know why, but we think she's the nicest one. My thought about her when i took this picture was, once again i found some people who willing to work hard for living =) I was wondering, what if the groceries are getting more and more, and it will be heavier for her. Is her head ok ? Isn't she feel tired, her neck maybe ? LOL yeah that..but phewww ! she didnt seems like that at all ! it was a usual thing for her, not a big deal at all ! she work like that everyday for more than 5 customers a day perhaps..ufff..
Now, my questions :
1. Tell me what you guyz think about her ? Just a slight thought is ok =D
2. Does your country has some people who work like her ?
If yes, share with me about them..If not, i may say thank you lol..
Ok, this is all i can tell bout her right now, maybe i will add something if i'm on creative mood lol..
C ya all..
