Ah, my back is starting to hurt.

Organic farming...it's not so cool after all!
:24:23
What's cool is the concept. I told you before, helping living things
is quite difficult.
:24:34
But it's no different from a hundred years ago, is it?
:24:38
And that's why even organically grown rice is often processed with
herbicides instead of by hand-weeding like back then. There's just
not enough labor.
:24:53
You sure have been working hard, Taeko-san [Taeko]. Why don't we break
for tea?
:24:59
Whew, you're a life-saver! I was just thinking of taking a break.

Toshio-san helped me experience many things step by step.
:25:22
I was taking pride in pretending I had already known everything about
the country.
