As I was walking to work the other day, I saw this example of higher and lower levels of technology in use in this developing nation. The man in the background was using a bushhog to cut the grass. The men in the foreground were manually spreading out rice to dry in the sun.
If you haven't walked almost everywhere all your life as many people here have, you don't know the profound joy of receiving as an adult a bicycle to ride. A number of bicycles were donated to CLTC recently, and it is a matter of protocol to distribute them to the most senior farm managers to use to ride to work. It is quite a status symbol to receive one. Simple pleasures. Aren't they wonderful?
