What about the rice fields in your country?

This is the view of the rice fields in my village .So green and beautiful. The crop now is peanuts. I often go to the fields to help my mother. I admit, it's hot in the fields, but going to the fields is always fun for me. I once had an interesting experience when in the rice fields, I once accidentally stepped on a snake. My reflex immediately screamed, there were people there, I felt very embarrassed. One more thing I'm afraid of when going to the rice fields is crabs. Rice fields always bring pleasant memories to me.

@Butterfingers I just know, but sadly never tried it. Because the rice varieties grown in my country are not the same type as basmatic rice, so maybe the taste will also be different.

I love to see it from far rather than stepping into the fields. Real dangers of snakes, which am scared of. Never heard about crabs in fields, but snakes yes.

@NurulKh you seem to be more brave than me.... I would never step into such paddy fields.

@S4mmyboy Actually, I'm not that brave either, and I think snakes in the fields are now rare because they're being hunted a lot

The fact is that in my field there is a kind of small crab, I am also afraid of that animal.

There aren't any rice fields in the US. We have peanut fields, corn fields, wheat fields, watermelon fields, strawberry fields and sugarcane fields. (Those are the ones I know about because I grew up near them.)

Because rice fields need a lot of water, meanwhile peanut, corn, watermelon, strawberry including plants that do not require a lot of water. Is it difficult in America to irrigate fields?

@NurulKh No, a lot of fields have irrigation. People in the US don't want to work standing in water, though.

When I travel in train, I get to see wonderful agricultural fields. Your picture reminds of those scenes.

Do people in Indonesia also consume rice as there staple food?

Wow, glad to hear. In Indonesia, the staple food is rice, so most farmers in Indonesia grow rice.

Oh I see, does the kids catch them for fishing?

• Indonesia

5 Jul 21

That makes sense, since most of Singapore is urban. Not like a big crab in the sea, but more like a small crab that has claws.

@id_peace That's really true, sometimes the little crabs are used for bait

Thank you....I think living in the village is good, you can go to the rice fields, you can still see the stars at night, the air is still fresh.

The photo doesn’t look like a rice field as I can remember it. That is scary to step on a snake. I am glad you were not bitten by the snake.
