| Notes: During today’s drive, the team stopped at a rice paddy and received a lesson in planting by the local women working in the fields. It was one of the coolest experiences to date, and the film crew captured it on camera. We were a muddy mess by the end of the evolution. We also visited a local market en route to Mandalay to pick up some traditional banana-leaf rice paddy hats, which are worn by all the workers here. They are a really cool souvenir, and they only cost about a dollar. (N.O.) | ||
