During my stay, I was primarily helping with cooking on a daily basis. From the latter half of my stay, I also started working in the fields. When I got tired from the physical labor, I took naps, haha. While everyone else worked for 6 hours, my situation was different because I was a homestay guest (unlike the volunteer staff who lived together), so it was very easy for me to balance study and work. Additionally, I learned about natural farming from the host's brother and father. The host was very passionate about food, and we would watch Netflix together to get ideas about meals and health. There was a kotatsu in the large room, where we often had conversations. We also spent time socializing at a neighbor's house, talked with people from various backgrounds, and received a lot of stimulation. Among all, the children left the biggest impression on me. They were so energetic that once they caught me, I ended up playing with them all the time. I usually faded out after about an hour, but others kept playing hide-and-seek inside the house. Another memorable aspect was the vegan lifestyle. I knew that being vegan was good for the environment, but I didn't have the impression it was tasty. However, I learned that with a bit of creativity, vegan meals can be both delicious and not a hardship. It's suitable for people who want to experience various things. The program is operated at a low cost for the amount and quality of experiences, making it a recommended adventure for those seeking experiential opportunities! (20s/Female/April/1 month)
