If you like to daunder around your local patch, have a gander at these world wanders.
Saitama has some amazing rice paddies, as documented by Jojoebi. And did you know that you can buy rice in a vending machine in Japan? The closest cool equivalents I have seen in North America are those that sell headphones and music players in the airports.
And on the little red farm in Sweden, you can see sweet wooden huts (with a bonus rainbow!) and pretty wooden buildings, the exact opposite of our concrete-rich architecture in Los Angeles. And did you know that it’s warm enough to swim in the lakes of Sweden in summer, yet the sea freezes over in winter? Amazing extremes in weather!
And don’t forget to check out the other participants1 in the jaunt around the world linked to below, with tomorrow’s tour in the sunny Canary Islands.
