Rice Harvesting begins...

...so it is underway in my neighborhood. For all other crops, it is the same - in a month or so, all one can see is a thick blanket of snow here!

...final video is  below and this harvesting truck/the crop eater - had some mechanical fault - and after much effort, the driver failed to get it back to work -one of the chains broke....i guess..

Anyhow, here is the last video...will get some more videos and photos today...hopefully!

I love the entire process......

The old man - who you can see walking along the monster (the machine) is Mr. Kim, who single handedly,  ploughed and took care of this rice field from Day One. It needs a lot of hard labor. He is in his early 70s. Has a birthday in a few weeks from now and is a wonderful friend.
