Industries we have observed

Woman Carrying Bundle of Sticks Larger than Herself
Aside from extracting money from tourists ("just look, no buy"), one of the main industries we have observed is moving impossibly large bundles of sticks from one place to another. This is generally done on a bicycle but tractor-, bull-, camel-, or horse-drawn vehicles also seem popular. Most amazing are the women who gracefully carry bundles larger than themselves on their heads.

Commonly-Seen Mystery Load
Another industry we have seen is brick making. However, the bricks are so soft that they are crumbling before they are used. The finished bricks are packed in giant loads into very small vehicles and driven down the road. They seem to eventually be dumped into piles where they appear to remain unused.
