Rice Planting

I got an email from Erica today saying that one the teachers at her school, Funatsu sensei, invited her to come experience rice planting again the old fashioned way, by hand. Erica and I went last year together, and had a great time!

Although we only spent maybe 3 hours doing the actual rice planting, it really takes its toll on your back. I can't imagine having to do this all day every day for I dont know how long. It's backbreaking work.

But the company was great so had a good time!


In return for our help in the field, we were all treated to a feast at Funatsu sensei's place. And what a feast it was..!

I would have loved to go again this year!
