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!)

Road Trip From Commewijne To Saramacca

 Road Trip From Commewijne To Saramacca

" Saramacca River Sign"




Welcome back, friends! Hop on board, because we're going on a Road Trip. For one of our clients, we did some repairs in Saramacca. I seized the opportunity to share a piece of Suriname with my readers. Saramacca is one of the 10 districts in Suriname. This district is popular for its agriculture. We went with the scooter and turned it into an adventure. Our trip started in Commewijne, where we were finishing another project. After doing the work, our stomachs were rumbling and demanding some good food. We stopped at the P&G roti shop. I love how this restaurant has upgraded through the years. You can dine in the restaurant or outside on their terraces. The Roti arrived warm and hit the spot! With fresh energy, we started our journey to Saramacc
. I recorded a vlog of our Road Trip to share with you guys. I wanted to film the riverbanks, but when we drove up on our scooter, we noticed that some people were in the middle of a spiritual bath. That was a good enough reason for us to turn around and give them their privacy. Even these practices are standard in a multi-cultural country like Suriname. On the other side of the bridge, I still managed to get a nice shot of the Saramacca River. Admiring nature in this part of South America brings a sense of peace to the mind. Due to the tropical heat, we stopped at a few stores to purchase a cold drink. It's a good thing that there are many stores on this route. Are you planning on traveling soon?
