"Week in my shoes" in a new reality TV show that follows around Kravoli citizens for a week to experience what they experience and see what they see"

For the first week we follow Tomas Krasinski a farmer from the agricultural south, he lives far from town and only goes to town 1 time a week to buy supplies. In this area most people are farmers, road are shared with farm vechiles and motor cars.

Day 1:
Tomas wakes at 6:00am to a Big breakfast cooking by his loverly wife Agatha. When he finsihed he goes to collect the eggs from the hens. On his way down he wakes his son Mark and they walk down together through the mud and finally make it to the chicken barn. Today is a good day with 247 eggs being collected, the Chicken feed is starting to run out but Mark manages to find some extra bags that will sustain the chickens for another day. They will have to go into town tomorrow.

Mark is sent to prepare the eggs while Tomas does more work. Soon after the eggs are collected Tomas is at work in the Barn milking the cows. Lucky for Tomas he won a government raffle to get electric milker installed, very few farmers in Kravoli enjoy this luxury. Within 20 minutes all the cows are getting milked and all Tomas needs to do is make sure they stay on the cows and don't cause discomfort. Tomas is very happy that nothing went wrong and soon he and Mark are busy putting the milk in containers that the delivery man can pickup and take to the factory for processing.

They finish the work at 1:34 and go home to a loverly lunch prepared by Agatha, after the meal the family relax to some midday tv. There relaxation is interupted by a knocking on the door, it a old family friend Michelle from down the road. Tomas and Michelle do some catching up and talk about many things from sports results to life on the farms. After some time Michelle leaves and Tomas can get back to work.

It's time to check the crops so Tomas fires up the old tractor and he goes out for a last minute check up. Everything looks fine for tomorrows harvest but he must check everything and that takes time by the time he gets back home it's dark and he has missed dinner. He heats it up on the stove and heads to bed, Tomorrow is harvest and a long day.

>> Fascinating! Wonderful! Oh, how I love Reality TV.

>> I mean, chickens! I exist under the surface of the ocean. Where else would I see chickens? Perhaps I should get some... But what would I do with them?

>> This episode prompted me to do minutes upon minutes of research on such avians to sate my momentary fascination. Tell me, does everything really taste like chicken? And why are you so fascinated with the concept of chickens crossing roads? If the chicken crossed the road, there must have been either something on the other side that it wanted to reach, or something behind it that it wished to avoid. Of course it wanted to get to the other side!

>> And obviously, the egg came first.
