The tea gardens

This may look like at an uninteresting photo but if you can blow it up there is a lot here. The two rows on the bottom are raw rubber drying, the cut cane on the banks of the creek will be sold and used for a multitude of purposes including roofing. The hill sides are covered with tea trees (bushes) and tall thinly leaved shade trees. This picture was taken outside our bungalow that we stayed in for two nights. This typifies agriculture here, every square hector is planted from the ditches on the side of the rode, to vacant lots in cities. This is how you feed 150 million people on 55000 square miles of land say the size of Michigan.
