crop circles or a really big party?


William and I went for a run yesterday and saw these formations in a few different fields. I went for a run again this morning with my camera so I could get some pictures. They're so strange and look so cool! It rained all day on Saturday and came down really hard at times, so William and I thought maybe some spots flooded enough to push the rice down flat. However, a man was out walking while I was taking the pictures, so I asked him, "what caused this?" His response was, "really big party." He kind of smiled when he said it so I think he was joking, but I don't know for sure. Maybe they did have a "really big party," because when I got home from school today some rice on our road had been harvested. This was the first rice I've seen since we got here that has been cut. Maybe they have a celebration in small parts of certain fields before the first harvest. William did note, though, that there weren't any entrance or exit flat spots from the road that we noticed. So if it was a party how did they get there? Suspicious. I still think it was the rain.

Oh, and our shipment of
"unaccompanied baggage" did not arrive today like it was supposed to. I wonder where it could be?
