Greetings Hivers, @justinparke here with another new ASEAN Hive Community Challenge for you all, 🌾 Rice Is Life 🍚, all about the grain that is king in Southeast Asia.

🌾 Rice Is Life 🍚

👨‍💻 Week #67 👩‍💻

^{July 17th ➡️ July 24th, 2023}

     Rice is life in many parts of Asia, particularly so in Southeast Asia where the climate is perfect for this dietary staple. From the field to the table, there are many steps involved in growing rice. There are even more ways to prepare and consume this humble grain, and for this challenge I have no specific idea in mind other than the challenge entries must be about rice in some way.

     You could share various pics of rice, from the field to the market and even fried rice on a plate. Recipes involving rice are welcome, and you can even show us your rice field and tell us about it. Rice milk, rice crackers, rice flour, so many products contain rice, and simply showing all the products in your country that contain rice would be a good entry. Creativity is welcome in this challenge because it is so open, so let's give thanks to the grain that fuels Southeast Asia.

Week #66 ASEAN Hive Challenge Winners
🏢 This Is Where I Live 🏠

     Via many blog posts published in ASEAN Hive through the years, I have become somewhat familiar with the places our community members live. After some thinking I realized I'd done village tours, but never anything specifically focused on the places we lay down to rest at night. This challenge provided me with more insight into the lives of our community members, and it showcased things like creativity and gardening skills. Please have a look at the winners and drop by any post that grabs your attention.

1st Prize 🏆 10% Beneficiary & 125 Ecency Points

ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #66: This Is Where I Live (Our Humble Abode)
by: @tegoshei

This is the place where I, my parents and our furbaby Arashi live. We are only renting this place, but the landlady is my father's friend, so we're free to make some changes in the house. Outside our fence are our lovely ornamental plants. Some of them used to be in the backyard, but since we started our vegetable garden, we transferred most of the ornamental plants here.

2nd Prize 🥈 6% Beneficiary & 75 Ecency Points

ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #66 This Is Where I Live "Water World"
by: @usagigallardo015

Describing our place makes me annoyed, specially now that it's been raining cat's and dogs on our place. The inside and outside of our house has water inside and it's not easy to deal with. I live here for two decades and every year our place is turning into a mess. I couldn't forget the first time I saw it, like I also couldn't also forget how it looks now. Some bloggers even documented our place because it's really far different now compared to before.

3rd Prize 🥉 4% Beneficiary & 50 Ecency Points

This Is Where I Live Challenge: "My Simple House For Me And My Parents"
by: @godslove123

For today's blog, I would like to share our simple house here in the Province. I lived here almost 29 years already and this helps us to protect us from bad people, rains, heat from the sun and other Natural phenomenon. With the initiative also to my Father, our house were built. Our house is located near at the River and even it is very dangerous for us specially during floods, but we keep ourselves living near it.
