Introduction post - Foodie Girl from Vietnam Countryside

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY3 days ago (edited)

Hello everyone, xin chào from Viet Nam. My nickname is Sửu which means buffalo in English, now you know where the buffalo baby come from right? 😂

We love buffalo here in Viet Nam, especially my hometown because they are our friends, they help us a lot with farming which is our essential thing. They are chill and hard working, and don't ask much for food, just grass, straw or corn powder.

The photos were taken by me in the time the rice fields were already harvested. They are more beautiful when green.

Back to myself, I am a countryside girl, and have lived in a peaceful mountainous area with a dream to go explore the big world. My first little achievement was being selected to go to Japan for around 2 weeks for an exchange program when I was at high school. That was an amazing trip that changed my point of view of going abroad. However, that was not enough motivation and confidence for me to do something after finishing high school, also my family didn’t have much money for me to study abroad. So I chose the nearest college and studied there for 4 years.

One day, I felt like there was an inner drive, reminding me of the last trip in Japan, urging me to do something different after a long time having been around a small area for too long, so I decided to find a way to go abroad. My family at first didn't like it because they worried that there are many dangers out there, and a countryside girl like me couldn't survive with a complicated world outside. I didn’t convince them, I just tried my best to do all paperworks, interviews,.. till finally I was sure I had a job there, in Singapore. So I told my family that I will go there, be careful and will make more money. My family finally compromised with my will and ambition, they supported me and wished me luck.

I lived and worked in Singapore for more than 2 years with a main job at a hospital and a side job at local weddings, basically serving food and cleaning empty dishes. It was a sweet part time job that I always brought a lot of food home and saved a lot of money for food the next couple days. I tried my best to earn some money to nurture other dreams. While living there, I travelled to Malaysia, Indonesia which made me desire to go to other countries. I decided I will go to Australia after that but Covid really broke my plan 😂 I came back to Viet Nam and live and work at a beautiful beach city and sometimes travel to different areas in Viet Nam and other countries.

That’s a little sharing of my paths, besides I have a few simple hobbies which are cooking, travelling, gardening and drawing. And I have heard of this amazing channel where I can share my experience, my food passion. I decided to make it here so I can go abroad by sharing and connecting with you guys.

More specific about cooking, the most passionate and confident I have. I have been cooking for my big family with 7 people since I was a little girl. I am not a chef, I just really love cooking and eating good food. I can talk and think about food every day, wondering if maybe I was a pig in my past life :D.

These photos were food I made, taken by myself.

So that’s all for my introduction post, hopefully you guys welcome and support me to write more about Viet Nam, about my food and my experience which I find interesting.

Love you all and have a great day my friends!
P.s: Sorry my profile and background photo didn’t update. I tried so many times to save it but still didn’t work.

Welcome to Hive! You'll meet wonderful and amazing people here. Explore different amazing communities.

You were not a pig in your past life, but you were a chef, maybe. hehe

Thank you for your warm welcome. I am excited to explore more, I hope one day I can remember all the memories of the chef if I were hehe

hehe. We are bound to forget our past life if that is true or if it really happened, since it would be frustrating if we didn't achieve what we have achieved before.

Hehe yeah, maybe it’s better that way. But to be honest, I am curious about it sometimes :)

Right, me too.

Same in the Philippines where buffalos (we call them carabaos) are widely used in farming.

Welcome and post more here in Hive!

Yes, buffalo are friends. Thank you for your warm welcome. I will definitely post more interesting things!

I just realized now that your hivename is related to buffalos. LOL

haha yes that is me buffalobaby :D

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
  3. The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your password or keys; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
  7. DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I'm looking forward to seeing more. That soup picture you posted looks really delicious. Is it Bun Bo Hue?

Oh no, it is Bun Vit which is the Duck Noodle, have you heard of it before?

Oh, interesting. I don't think I have tried duck with noodles before.

yeah, more popular with beef, or chicken but duck is delicious too. :)

Hi @buffalobaby welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

I had no idea there were buffaloes in Vietnam, I learned something new today thanks to you, hehe. Cooking for 7 people I consider it worthy of a chef!! Maybe it's because I don't like to eat and that's why I don't like to cook either. However, I do enjoy seeing recipe posts here. I recommend to look at the Worldmappin for your travelling posts, it will be great to know about your country and your Japan adventure. Finally, I'm curious about where did you hear about Hive?

Hi @palomap3 thank you for your welcome and your recommendation. I sure will post more about cooking and travelling, those groups look like a good place for me to share.
I overheard some IT guys talking about Hive at work, my curiosity led me to this fun and active community. I look forward to sharing my experiences and discovering new things on Hive.

What I like most about Hive is that you discover new things every day. I look forward to seeing your recipes and travels, I really liked your presentation and it will be great to get to know you more. 🤗
