Taxi Stand




We stopped for a drink at a taxi stand in a village on the way to Bangem. It is about 40 minutes down the mountain from it. Basically there are a series of shacks/shops where people can buy supplies and get a beer while they wait for a bush taxi to become available. You can wait all day for it to fill up. Not because there are not enough people, noooooo-oh. They wait all day because they overload the vehicles with people and products. I tried to get shots of it as we waited, hopefully you can pick out what I describe. In the first two pictures towards the back you can see trucks overloaded with people and supplies. The last shot is of a little boy balancing a tray of dried fish on his head, for sale to eat.
