Running round the old Patty

Sunday was a chill day, I rested. At night I emerged from my apartment for some exercise. I walked to the park and jogged past that toward the rice patties. There were so many people exercising. In the park, instead of things like merry-go-rounds and jungle jims, they have fitness equipment like in a gym. They're made of metal and look like gym equipment from the 50's. They have an apparatus for every major muscle group. There were ton's of older Korean women doing pushups and situps in the park and whole families were exercising together. This is very different from the US! The rice patties are so cool! They're freaking huge. In between the patties and the highway are little gardens where people are growing peppers, beans and a bunch of other stuff. Even under the overpass there are people gardening. I wonder if you can just start a garden anywhere because they're in like a dried out river bed and right on the side of the highway, within inches of the road.
