Sightseeing

July 11, 2007

 This past Saturday Hakim and I went sightseeing with two students in his eikaiwa class (adult English class).  We saw some beautiful rice fields that took a lot of work to do.  Normally, many farmers plant the fields using a machine depending on how big their land is, but this place, because it was on a mountain, hand planted theirs. 

While my sister was in town in April, it was the beginning of the rice planting season and all of the fields were mainly brown, beginning to sprout green, but now our whole town is sprouting vibrant green rice fields. 

 Below are some pictures of the field.
