Imagine doing this on a daily basis,dragging this huge stall,arranging all this stuff and then packing it all back again,only to start the next day it would make most people fed up,yet this man works very hard,respect to him.

[@sherylbutler9999]

99% of Americans could never survive having to work hard like this.

[@arulnambiramanujam]

At the very beginning itself felt the same. Wish to see this hard working soul be in a comfortable situation

[@XxXx-lg9sg]

But think of the money he’s saving by not paying rent.

[@DenHond]

@@XxXx-lg9sg I would guess he's paying the city a fee for being allowed to put up a stall there. Then again, probably nothing close to the rent of a regular small restaurant.

Pues así es el trabajo de todos los que venden en mercado ambulante descarga ,monta tu puesto ,vender ,recoger volver a cargar y carretera hasta el día siguiente y así llueva ,haga viento ,haga un calor asfixiante o haga frío cada día de la semana un lugar distinto y no solo eso sino que hay que ir a reponer género para seguir vendiendo es un trabajo muy duro

[@lennox2223]

This is the most incredible display of a man's dignity and his work. I can't even comprehend how he can do this day after day. His pooling that stalls a long way until he arrives for his destination. I hope his hard work will bring its results financially.

[@langowski007]

But not the health effects. Long-lasting night shifts, lack of sunlight, generally lack of healthy sleep according to the clock of the planet earth, unfortunately may have a negative impact on the future of this man. I'm sorry to say that, looking at the hard work he does, it's obvious that he enjoys his work. I hope he takes vitamin D3 at least.

And then after a long day of cooking and serving his yummy food he has to clean it all and pack it away at the end of his day only to start over the next day, and the next day, and the next…. My admiration goes out to you sir…. I sure hope you make LOTS of money for all the work you do.

I am blown away by this man's work ethic. Putting up and taking down that stall is daunting. I cannot even imagine doing that every day in your 50s. We complain in the US about our jobs, which do not require a 10th of the effort this kind man puts in daily. God bless him and his family.

Such food stalls are not only about food and drink, it's the conversations, laughing, and the general social connections that make it much more than simply eating. I love watching it unfold and how everyone there soaks it up...a cultural norm I guess. If I was young again I would definitely visit Japan.

He reminds me of my childhood days in the 60s when my parents were hawkers having to push their cart out to the designated spot daily with all the preparation before that. I fully appreciate how tough the work must be for him to be leading this kind of life night in night out, in order to earn a living. My salute to him and his fellow vendors who put in such hard work with practically no sick leave or holidays to talk about. I recently had the privilege to patronize such a stall in Hakata (near Canal City) and this video brought back fond memories of my visit to Japan. 💪

He is a hard working man. He sets up a complete restaurant every day ,6 days a week and it is a job I doubt many of us could do in such a short time. He than has too pack it all up and take it home with thye job of prepping everything for the next days work. What a tough job.

I love how he tasted the soup of the oden 17:44 then adjusted the seasoning of the soup.
