  • When did you start sleeping naked?

    Everyone’s preference is different. Some people don’t like to sleep naked. For me however it’s is a necessity now. Honestly, I don’t remember exactly when I started sleeping naked as a kid, but I kept it up until I hit puberty. Back then, I always wore briefs under my shorts at night. I was raised in a fairly conservative home, I was always worried my parents would come in and catch me naked with an awkward morning situation.

  • Awkward moments: Skinny dip in Xexou river

    When I think back to my childhood, I can’t help but smile at all those carefree days spent by the river Xexou. My friends and I would splash around in the crystal-clear water for hours, completely free and unbothered. We ran around without a care in the world, completely naked and totally at ease. It felt so natural, like we were just being ourselves without any of the worries that come with growing up. But then, as I hit my teenage years, everything started to change.

  • ☀️On this scorching day, I sought refuge from the sweltering heat after having lunch. My briefs clung uncomfortably to my skin, and I took off relief. 😂 In that tranquil moment, I reveled in the simplicity of nature—the sun, the bamboo, and the quietude. It was a siesta unlike any other!! 💦

  • After the hard work and collaboration for a successful harvest, it’s time for cooking. We have a simple charcoal stove crackling with warmth. Around me, the natural world hums—a gentle breeze rustles the leaves, and the sun casts dappled shadows on the ground. As I stir the pot, I feel a connection to generations past, to those who cooked over open flames, nourishing their families with love and sustenance. 🍳🍲

  • For quite some time since my university days, I hadn’t actively participated in the demanding work and necessary collaboration required for successful crop harvesting. However, today, with no school commitments, I find myself actively involved in gathering the freshly harvested crop. My role includes handling the sacks on the ground, which likely contain the produce. As a member of the agricultural team, I contribute to efficiently collecting and storing the crop, ensuring its safe transport and eventual distribution. The scene exemplifies the hard work and collaboration essential for a successful harvest. 🌾🚜

  • As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden hue across the landscape, I embarked on a serene journey along the straight road that stretched endlessly before me. The clear sky and open road convey a sense of calm and openness, typical of rural landscapes. Here, in the heart of the countryside, the rhythm of life flowed like the nearby river—steady, unhurried, and deeply connected to the land.

    I stepped onto the uneven ground, my sandals sinking slightly into the earth. The market was an open-air affair, its stalls shaded by makeshift roofs woven from palm fronds. The air hummed with the chatter of vendors and the laughter of children chasing each other between the tables. And so, in that rustic corner of the world, I became part of the pineapple story. A traveler, a taste-tester, a witness to the simple magic of a rural market. As the last rays of sun kissed the horizon, I knew I’d carry this memory—the tang of pineapple, the warmth of community—with me forever.

  • Swimming isn’t just a workout—it’s a full-body refresh! It strengthens muscles, boosts endurance, and clears the mind, all while feeling weightless in the water. Perfect for fitness and relaxation in one go 🏊‍♂️💦

  • Today, I found myself reminiscing about one of the most extraordinary experiences my country has to offer—the Gong Festival. It’s a celebration so rich in culture, sound, and movement that I couldn’t help but feel compelled to share it with anyone who’d listen. If you ever get the chance, you simply must come and witness it for yourself.

  • I don’t even know where to begin, but I’ll try to recount the chaos while it’s still fresh in my mind (well, as fresh as it can be after the amount of beer I consumed). By the time  By the time the sun went down, most of us were sprawled out on the ground, too drunk to move. Some of the guys got a little too comfortable. I’m talking full-on “I don’t even know where my pants are” comfortable. At one point, I looked over and saw one of them proudly showing off…  well, let’s just say he was showing off way more than anyone wanted to see. I don’t think he even realized what he was doing. 😁😁

  • Today, I had the chance to explore a coffee production site. It was fascinating to witness the coffee berries being harvested and the subsequent processing procedures. To my delight, they even allowed me to experiment with creating my own coffee using a Bialetti Dama Glamour.

    This experience wasn’t just about coffee—it was about understanding the passion and effort that goes into every cup. It reminded me of the beauty in the details and the magic of turning something simple into something extraordinary.

  • Today was one of those rare, magical days that I’ll probably remember for a long time. I decided to visit the bamboo garden on the outskirts of town, a place I’ve been meaning to explore for months. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a sense of tranquility that I hadn’t felt in ages. The tall bamboo stalks swayed gently in the breeze, their leaves whispering secrets to each other. The sunlight filtered through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground, and the air smelled fresh and earthy.

    What made the experience even more special was that I had the entire garden to myself. Not a single soul was around—just me, the bamboo, and the occasional chirping of birds. It felt like my own private sanctuary, a hidden world where I could truly be myself.
