Two men were walking with their luggage. This is Pettah, a wholesale district in Colombo, Sri Lanka. They must have purchased their goods from one of the many wholesale stores. One man was walking with three bags on his head.

I think it is best to have a delivery service when buying a large load of goods, but not here. In Sri Lanka, where trucks are used to deliver goods and people are used to load and unload them by hand, it is commonplace to carry large loads by hand. In Sri Lanka, it is not uncommon to see large loads being carried by hand, as in the case of the man in this photo.
