Imagine a mountain range built like ricefields… Imagine a mountain, instead of trees, you find sloping ricefields… That’s how the Banaue Rice Terraces look like. No matter what new surveys would say, about the new wonders of the worlds, I still feel that the Banaue Rice Terraces is one of the wonders of the world. It is a breathtaking sight, the rice scientist in me would always look up to for inspiration. They have been here for thousands of years, and continue to exist despite my miniscule contribution to the science.

World famous rice terraces - the stairways to the gods

Etag - the local ham or bacon, salted then smoked

Mangoes and local oranges

This pictures were taken in the streets of Aurangabad, India. We were there for a molecular biology workshop for plant breeders. One of the highlights, of course, would be the food!
