For anyone who doesn't know our apartment building is surrounded by rice paddies, as are most things in Korea. It is the time of year where they harvest that rice. Yesterday we saw this very interesting piece of equipment harvesting the rice by our building. It shears the rice stalks and sends them back along a conveyer where it shakes the rice off into bags (on the other side of the machine), then dumps the stalks out the back of the machine. Notice the man is standing up the whole time ( I guess they don't believe in seats on equipment over here). There is a saying over here in the military. OINK! Which means Only IN Korea! Apprently posting these interesting culture differences is going to be a new trend on the blog, so stay tuned for more OINK moments!
