Hello everyone! Guess what? It is day 7 already!
Today's main highlight was the trip down to the paddy fields and farm.
After a long bus journey, we finally reached our destination.
Here's a photo of a farmer on the left and our guide on the right.
The farmer was teaching us about the 4 steps of the farming process on planting rice.
After the short briefing, we were all ready to be farmers.
It was a wonderful morning with blue skies and white clouds overcast .

Trying it ourselves with Nguyen Huu Canh College students.
Busy at work. It is no surprise that most of the Sp students are first timers.
Check out Lydia the farmer:)
As well as Jian Hui, the farmer!

It's lunch time! Look at all of our satisfied faces after a sumptuous meal.
Say hi to some Nguyen Huu Canh College students chilling by the shade!

Through today's field trip, we came to understand the pains of a farmer and how much hard work it takes to successfully harvest their rice crops. Rice is the staple diet for many of us and the primary source of income for the farmers. Hence, we have learnt to treasure and appreciate rice and the farmer's efforts more. This trip was a real eye-opener for many of us as such paddy fields are not common in Singapore for us to carry out rice cultivation. Here's a group photo to end off this post. Updates of our following field trips will be coming up soon!
