Context of the observation

At one of the biggest roundabouts in Kenya - Globe Cinema Roundabout - a group of  companionably talking women carrying Sukuma Wiki in their bags, called kiondo. The bags seem to be not full, they carry the bags “relaxedly”, because they do not use the bag holder in front of their forehead.
