I tried wood seal carving!

  Hold on to your space seats, because the story time U.F.O. is back at it again, zapping fresh stories straight from the mothership into your inbox! 🛸 If you’ve been following my blog or my ShachemLieuw YouTube channel for a while, you probably already know I’ve been deep-diving into learning Mandarin and exploring more about my Chinese heritage. Well, my latest mission involved signing up for a wood seal carving class, and I liked it so much that I’ve officially decided to purchase a wood seal carving kit and turn this into a permanent hobby! 🧰✍️ Fun plot twist: we didn't actually work with real wood. We got to practice on erasers! But it was still super fun learning all the traditional carving techniques. (For those wondering, the Chinese carving knife used for this is called an intou or bidao —often referred to as an iron pen or a graver!)

Fawaka, my dearest Story Time friends from around the world?😁 Fawaka means how are you doing in Sranang Tongo, a local Taki Taki language in Suriname. I'm back with another travel adventure! This time, the Story Time U.F.O. is zapping you to a place near Johan Adolf Pengel Airport.🛸 Suriname has numerous creeks in that area. Many of them have become the homes of multiple resorts.🩱🏊 But today, I'm taking you on a tour of a private property. It has been very hot in the tropical Caribbean and South American country of Suriname lately.😅 Living in a country that's covered in more than 85 percent jungle, Surinamese people often seek relief from the heat in creeks like this.  Of course, some people prefer the water from the rivers. 🌊If you've traveled to Suriname, you've probably heard about the popular resorts that offer swimming passes to take a dip in a cool creek.⛱ Although the sun might be beaming straight through the leaves of our tropical trees, nature still provides a cooling relief! During vacation time ( August-September), it does get warm in this country. That's when the Surinamese creeks get crowded with tourists and locals. 🚌Especially since these places aren't too far from the city.🚦 You'll easily notice it by the traffic on the Indira Gandhi Way.📹 I made a video of this creek adventure in Suriname to share with you guys. We managed to find some fish in the creek. 🐠Don't worry, it was a catch-and-release scenario. I hope you enjoy my vlog, and don't forget to subscribe to Story Time U.F.O. 💓. I appreciate all the support on the blog. Thank you for reading, and I can't wait to zap my next adventure straight into your inbox!
