Transplanting rice activity

                                                                                                                                           2016.3.26(Sat)
Last Saturday, the transplanting rice activity was held by Gu-Dong Club around my home.
Therefore, let me show you some details about this activity.

It was started at 14:00, and people were coming.
If you wanted to participate in this activity, NT 200 dollars are needed for the insurance.















First, Dad brought them to the temple,and pray for everything will be okay.
The temple is not too far from my home, so they will walk there with some thing (cookies and fruits) to put in the temple.















After praying, people came back and prepared for the transplanting.
If you felt starving before working, there were some vendors so that you can buy something to eat.
The vendors are friends of my family, many of them are farmers, either.
They plant vegetable without using pesticide, and making some cuisine and dessert by themselves.









































































There are also people from Hong Kong and Singapore farm in Shen-gou, consequently, they sold cuisines made by themselves.

Finally, it's the main theme today --  Transplanting rice!
Almost everyone eat rice as staple food, however, few people have had the experience of growing it, especially people who live in the urban district.
As a consequent, you can see many people have fun in the field wit mud on their clothes and body.
I think it'll be a unforgettable experience for them in their life.


Drawing the lines in order to make people know where to plant it.





Using a special tool to pick up the rice seeding.

A lot of mud on their clothes , arms and legs.





But it is hard for them to transplant the whole field, therefore, farmers ( who were selling initially. ) help us to transplant finally. :P

I've participated in this activity for more than ten years, but it's still make me have a lot of fun every year.

Finally, there is the photo of the activity in the field.
