Agriculture

In Africa we experienced that all animals like hen, pork, sheep, goat, cow and ox where walking around without any fencing. Only experience one fence in Zambia, keeping the cattle together and away from predators. There were nearly no tractors used, and only in some areas of Zambia they seemed to have large scale production of groceries.

In Japan we did not see one single cattle. Not a hen, nor a cow. We did see large areas with rise, but no tractors at all.

Whoever planned the city’s infrastructure must have been a genius to be able to make this work in such a great manner. On saturday night we went out walking, and the city was so calm and quiet. The next few days we went out to see the electric center, Sun City, the Zoo, the Imperial Palace gardens, and Ginza. Continue reading
