Friends, see this picture, taken by a French photographer, Alain Delorme in Shanghai throughout 2009 & 2010. He called the series, Totems.
These couriers - mostly migrant workers from other parts of China - not only need strong legs but also acrobatic skills to balance these massive loads on their tricycles & bicycles while on the move. A lot of you must be wondering where the centre of gravity is in each case.
My place has such workers whom we employ during shifting of household goods, if we change our residence in the same city.
[i][b]Do you have such in your place? If you change residence in your city, how you shift the goods? Please share.
Thank you so much in advance.

hi professor no Here is the USA we have large moving van trucks
and in my estimation they overcharge even in moving you acorss the city in your city. you are paying usually for two men plus rent of the gtruck and their placemen of your household goods. Alot of p eople who are mor thrify rent U Haul tricks for much much less and are their own movers as they make maybe several or more trips. W e have moved both ways and the first is more costly but saves your backs too. But the other can be fun as three of us moved our stuff and we stopped at a nice restaurant for lunch and a carton of soft drinks as it was a very hot day that we moved.to me moving is one of the most stressful things that anyone can go and has to do. ugh.

I'd agree with the previous poster. That'd be totally illegal here in the UK because it'd be regarded as an unsafe and dangerous load. The photo is an interesting social record and typically Chinese or perhaps I should say Asian.
