Carrying things on your head

People in many parts of the world carry things on their heads.

So why doesn't anyone do this in Toronto?

We have immigrants from all over the world, including refugees (who are likely to be less urbanized and westernized than your average skilled worker immigrant). But you never see anyone carrying their groceries home in a basket on their head.

I would love to have this skill! I want to walk along Yonge Street, in skirt and blouse, heels and purse, with all my groceries on my head!
