My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Any traveller can appreciate the sights, smells and sounds of the local market. In this particular one, I was unfortunately too slow to snap a child playing inside a bucket of rice with his toy before his mother grabbed him and sold a customer a bag of it! However I loved this shot of the 3 girls on their way out of the market with their purchases. It amazed me the strength the women had to balance the huge baskets of goods on their head without a single complaint. Their companion, matching in her huipals, was trailing after them, dragging her bucket and singing to herself as they left the bustling market.
