Bug Jacket
We have learned a few words that are central to our work at this host.
Zasso- weed
Ookii Zasso- big weed
Buyou- black fly
(which are very big and like new blood, like us)
At first I thought these jackets were silly and a waste of time but I listened to Miho and put it on for our first time weeding in the asparagus field. They are definitely necessary when working around here and we put them on every time we work outside. We wear a hat as well and it fits either on the inside of the bug jacket or outside. Even though we wear the jackets, we are fighting the urge to itch those bites! At dinner we discussed wether we discussed which bug bite was worse:
Mosquitos or Buyou
