Cutting Rice



I know the Northeast US is starting to get socked in with snow, but around here, it's rice harvest time. Cambodia is chock-a-block full of rice fields, and about two weeks ago, they all turned from bright green to straw-colored in about the same day. Now the entire country is going about the business of harvesting the rice by hand. The other day I asked a few of my students who had invited me to their village if they could show me how. It wouldn't be for those who don't like to get their feet dirty (literally, I was shoeless in mud up to my ankles), but I had a blast.
