I was really excited to see what it would be like to plant rice. Stepping into the rice paddy was much SLIMIER than I expected! I was also surprised by how warm the mud was. I enjoyed planting the seedlings, but I was worried that I was planting too few or too many in each bunch. It was fun to work together with everyone to do something that will produce food for Hide's family.
I also enjoyed meeting all of Hide's family and helping his mother make lunch. She is so organized, and she's a really good boss. She wasn't shy about telling me what needed to be done in the kitchen, and she was a good cooking teacher, too. I enjoyed hearing about their old house. She said, "That part over there is the old part -- it's 200 years old! This bit over here is new. It's only 100 years old." I loved the big, twisty beams in the ceiling of the house.
I'm really looking forward to going back to the rice paddies soon to see how the seedlings are doing.
