Today, we work as a team. Yan, a guy from Czech Republic, very cool. Benjamin, a german guy friendly too and 'M' the Korean guy I met yesterday. We cannot call him by his real name as it is too difficult to pronounce so he said "Call me M". OK then, M :-) The guy who spoke a little bit more english than yesterday was complaining about the work today. He said "I did 2 years at the army in Korea and this job is harder".
That’s some of the trees and plants we planted along this week.
Our small team is pretty busy. M is in the hole digging as deep as we are supposed to and Yan is crouching behind collecting the big rocks that we must extract. Once the hole ready, we will be able to plant that palm tree waiting for us.
The pic I stole for yesterday’s post :-)
When the ground is not too rocky, we use that big machine you can see on the ground that allows us to dig faster but the problem is, when you hit something hard, the top part of the thing start to spin and that’s very painful on the wrists, the back or the leg, or everything at the same time. To sum it up, it uses gasoline so it smells! Cool hey? At some point the boss came to give us a hand. This guy is huge and manage to handle the machine by himself. He is also very fit, for sure, after working in that type of job for a while I guess. But for us, skinny backpackers who rarely touched a shovel, that’s pretty hard.
Our beautiful freshly planted edge!
