I was picking tea for 2weeks in the beginning of April 2015 in Ilum in the Far Eastern Nepal.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never tried it in Japan, but I’ve tried it in an another country.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve often had Darjeeling tea and Assam tea from their neighbouring country India. However, I didn\u2019t imagine \u201cNepal\u201d as tea place. I searched online and figured out that Ilum was famous for its tea. Some people ship the tea made in Ilum as Darjeeling tea because of the big name.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The work wasn\u2019t harder than last time as volunteer in Thailand. Actually, I felt a not doing enough.<\/p>\n

However, I ate 120-130 percent in the capacity of my stomach at each meal. Furthermore I ate a lot of pop-rice and I started to worry about becoming fat. So every morning I did exercises with my roommate from the second week onward.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I updated my blog as if I had had the chance to do it in only this time. As you know, I also translate my blog into English. So the frequency in the updating has been slow. (Of course, my laziness is more serious reason as this situation.) However, I had enough time to do it. When I updated my post I ask some volunteers to correct my mistakes, what was nice. I decided to keep it as a habit.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much, my teachers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Incidentally, the posts I asked the teachers to look over were a bit \u201cblue”. Maybe because of that, the posts seemed to be popular with the other volunteers. Sometimes they asked me when I will write about my Nepal episodes.<\/p>\n

Finally! Sorry! However, this post doesn\u2019t have blue jokes! If I need to say, well… nothing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, English. My English was a problem. I could understand their conversations in fragments. I always cared about their consideration because Everybody were so nice.<\/p>\n

I also cared about the ages because other volunteers were around 5 years younger than me. Then I noticed that people who use \u201cworkaway\u201d, \u201cHelpX\u201d, \u201cWWOOF\u201d or etc were young in almost any case. Maybe some hosts have age limit for volunteers. Old guy? Am I an old guy!? Fortunately, the mongoloid people look younger than their real age for other people. So my age isn\u2019t noticed, though!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a lot more memories, but I will list them here and leave things open for your imagination.<\/p>\n
