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!) The class went pretty in-depth about the history of seal carving in China. Historically, seals (or chops) served as powerful credential...

Standard Room At Eco Torarica And Dinner At Chimin

 Standard Room At Eco Torarica And Dinner At Chimin

"Shachem Lieuw At Chimin In Suriname"


Welcome back to another Story Time foodie adventure in tropical Suriname. If you caught my previous Story Time episode, you'll know that we checked into Eco Torarica. In this episode, you'll get a better peek at the standard rooms from Eco Torarica. This hotel has a quieter but relaxing vibe. Its design is made to match the surrounding serenity of nature. We checked in for Stew's birthday. Once we entered our room, we were surprised with a yummy but delicious cake from Torarica. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, but rich in flavor! After we settled into our room, we were taken out to Chinatown for dinner. It's right across the street from Eco Torarica. Our friends spoiled us with delicious food, and we had a great time together. The fish was tasty, but I thought the food was better the previous times that we went. Please note that when you are at Chimin, you can't pay with your local or international card. When it was time to return to the hotel, we decided to take a stroll alongside the Suriname River. This is something I enjoy doing in all parts of the country. I've met the same river in different parts of the country, as I came to know her in many forms.  During the nighttime, the Eco Torarica is brightly lit. But the lamps they use add a romantic vibe to the resort. The only thing we didn't take into consideration was the mosquitoes waiting to feast on us!😂 Because Suriname is a tropical country, you can expect the mosquitoes to be on the hunt day and night! I hope you guys enjoy the vlog I made of our time at Eco Torarica. Are you planning on booking your hotel staycation soon? Visit Expedia for amazing deals!
