[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 1305244, member: 1951"] sorry have been a bit tardy sorting through my photos , what with trying to sort out a new phone and other business. I have been suffering Ketosis, caused by an insufficient intake of calories. It is really quite nasty as in the mornings, for the last 2 days of the ride I was feeling very hung over, and the only cure is eating not easy when you feel very queasy. I did not realise at first putting it down to the cold breakfasts we were often offered, including cold fried eggs, not thew best after what feels like a very heavy night. In fact the drinking at all times was very moderate. The real problem was burning up to 6000 calories a day but only consuming g possible 3000. Never mind I have now lost over 10Kg. a few more pictures rice paddies [ATTACH=full]162938[/ATTACH] cultivating the paddies, I guess they plough them dry, then start the flooding process before coming in with what seems the Japanese farmers favourite tool, the Rotavator, see them everywhere [ATTACH=full]162940[/ATTACH] This tractor has only hal;f tracks but it was common to see them kitted out as a mini Quadtrac. it seemed a large rotavator on a small tractor. As he went across the field in one pass it changed from what looked relatively dry to a swamp. then comes the planter, this time an Iseki [ATTACH=full]162942[/ATTACH] never did work out how they operate. Lunch stop at a typical Japanese roadside Cafe, as usual; shoes off! [ATTACH=full]162944[/ATTACH] one of our best meals here, the seafood ramen. [ATTACH=full]162946[/ATTACH] The pictures do not do justice to the size of the bowl which was large. The snow crab is out of this world and you understand why people go to such lengths to catch it ( think dangerous catch ). The dish was a large mix of different cuts and fish laid on top of a big heap of noodles, the green of course is seaweed. getting the whelk out of its shell with chopsticks nearly defeated me, but the effort was worth it. Down the road I was surprised to come across these tractors , we had seen most makes of tractor , not many John Deere but obviously the Japanese tractors were the most common with dealerships for Kubota, Iseki, Yanmar, in most towns we passed and New Holland and Massey quite frequent. However we passed this farm with 3 of these to my pleasant surprise [ATTACH=full]162948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]162952[/ATTACH] There was a 1200 parked behind a greenhouse, but I could not get a good shot of it. They appeared in very good order. Will try and sort a few more pictures out. [/QUOTE]
