Now, everything is in bloom. We will have some pictures of the campus and surrounding areas in a future post, but right now I will show you the rice paddies next door. Lee saw them pulling a plow-type thing with a rope over the shoulder the other day - pretty medieval. The older farmers tend to be very obvious here, because their backs often curve at a 90 degree angle from spending so much time planting, weeding, and harvesting while bent over. The rice paddies:
Things are so interesting here. The rice paddies and other gardens everywhere (there are two sets of rice paddies and maybe 6-8 gardens within 150 feet of the apartment), new and different vegetables and plants, and right now, everything seems to be blossoming and beautifully scented, even the bushes lining the roads. This is a very beautiful season!
