Did you ever walk into a restaurant that avails you to have rice-all-you can, for a mere fee of 20 pesos? If you have, let us tell you that 20 pesos is not enough for rice-all-you can. When we went to University of the Philippines Los Banos, Laguna, we were thrilled to be visiting the International Rice Research Institute. We expected to learn about how rice is planted, harvested, and packaged for human consumption, and we learned about all this by watching a video inside the IRRI facility. Unfortunately, rice sources are depleting so IRRI is teaming up with other world organizations and coming up with new technology for rice planting in order to keep rice enough for everyone to eat (see, don't waste your rice). The facility even had a museum of tools for rice and rice products. If you go there, you'll see a big statue that looks like a wall for wall climbing, but it's actually a rice cell. You'll also see some interactive TV screens, and-, wait. We might spoil the cool surprises for you if we tell you about EVERYTHING we saw. Speaking of which, we saw these little rice grains while touring round the museum. Can you imagine how many of these fill just one cup of rice?
