What can I say? After years of training to sit in front of a monitor screen and go click click click, I barely have the muscle to lift up the machete and start hacking at the bushes. So, seeing the kids do this, especially the ladies, is so coool! Although, hacking the bushes is increasingly becoming a lost art among the more 'city' kids who tend to just watch and chat and wait until the clock strikes 17:30... which is, time to take a shower! Oh well, got to cut them some slack!
