Caito: So you did it by hand! Or rather, by sickle. The reason I asked if it was back-breaking is because I always see those old people walking around who are permanently bent over at an angle. I always assumed it was from a lifetime of harvesting rice by hand. Jonneh: Good things come to those who wait.

If you don't do the corners first, you risk running over some plants and thus losing some of the rice. That's what my understanding of it is, at least. It makes sense to my former 4-Her brain. It wasn't back-breaking, really (easier than picking strawberries for hours on end, and a lot less buggy too!) though my left arm was sore enough afterwards that I went to the doctor to get it checked. That's how I found out I have a tumor :X Other than that, though, it was a really positive experience!

Ha! I helped out! And was given some fresh rice as a gift (along with some delicious plum wine). It tasted fantastic. I thought though that I was only imagining that it tasted sweeter, good to know it's not just me. Ha, I may have SEEN people harvesting rice? Ha! I helped out!
