So I'm midway through my holiday and I have experienced what life would be like if I were a farmer's son. Firstly the term "farmer" comes under the umbrella term for "server", and it seems that all those that would be working in the farm, would be working to serve in the owners household. Fortunately, the owners are my dad and uncles. Secondly, the workers who would not stay in the farm, but stay in the household would have to do much work, which I've experienced first hand.

Everyday for the past two weeks, I would climb the forest and look for wild game such as the white-eared brown dove or also known as the "alimukon" to the workers. Or monitor lizards and wild chicken having learned how to make traps especially for them. Lastly, my uncle sends us to look for wild orchids which grow only on trees six meters and up. We would climb different peaks and summits of the forest and usually the ascent would take two-to-three hours and the descent, depending on the gradient, can range from one-to-three hours too.


Additionally, upon my arrival to the "House of Rustling Leaves" (the house of my uncle, he named it that because of its sheer size and magnitude surrounded by the forest reserve we would climb),  and already I learned how to slaughter a goat and a chicken; it was interesting.
