I basically helped with the cooking for a day. From the second half of my stay, I was also working in the fields. When I was tired from the physical labor, I would take a nap. lol Everyone else was working 6 hours a day, but I was using a homestay (unlike the volunteer staff I was living with), so it was very easy for me to balance my studies. I also learned about natural farming from my host brother and father. Also, our host was incredibly passionate about food, and we all watched Netflix together to help us with our diet and health. We had a big room with a kotatsu, and we all talked a lot. We were allowed to visit my neighbor's uncle's house for a happy time, talked with people from different backgrounds, and had many stimulating experiences. Among them, what impressed me the most were the children. They were just so energetic, I played with them all the time. I always faded out after about an hour or so, but the others stayed inside the house playing hide-and-seek and so on. The other thing that impressed me was about the vegan style. I knew that veganism was good for the environment, but I didn't think it tasted good, but I found that if you are creative, vegan food is not hard to eat and tastes great. I think it is suitable for people who want to experience different things.
I would recommend it to experience-oriented people who want to be adventurous, because they have management, the price is low for the quantity and quality of the experience, and there is little risk!
