Greetings Hivers, @justinparke here with another new ASEAN Hive Community Challenge for you all, 🪑 The Wonders Of Wood 🪵, so show me all the wood in your lives.

🪑 The Wonders Of Wood 🪵

👨‍💻 Week #64 👩‍💻

^{June 26th ➡️ July 3rd, 2023}

     As a building material, wooding is hard to beat. It is lightweight, strong, weather resistant, renewable, and most of all versatile and beautiful. From a birdhouse to a log cabin, the wonders of wood are hard to ignore, and Southeast Asia is full of wooden structures, furniture, tools, and so much more. For this challenge I want to see wood, pretty simple huh?

     Show me the beautiful and creative uses of wood around you. Because we have previously featured bamboo, for this challenge I think bamboo should be excluded because it has a life of its own in this part of the world. Even things as simple as an old cutting board have lots of character, and definitely shouldn't be overlooked for this challenge. My brother-in-law just carved a really nice wooden handle for our scythe yesterday, and this is what gave me the idea for this challenge.

Week #63 ASEAN Hive Challenge Winners
👨‍🍳 Soup For The Soul 🥣

     This challenge was very eye-opening for me, and I think it provided a chance for a critical look at the places we ASEAN Hivers we live. Of course some countries have more freedom of criticism, especially the government, than others, and this without a doubt affects things from newspaper stories to even little blockchain challenges like this one. The 1st and 2nd place entries were more than worthy of sharing the 3rd prize, and I encourage you all to have a read.

1st Prize 🏆 10% Beneficiary & 125 Ecency Points

Inflation In Malaysia | Causes of Inflation In Malaysia and How Our Family Cope With It
by: @coloringiship

Very interesting. I could rant on and on about the things that are wrong with this country but let's focus on one glaring problem that has plagued the country post-pandemic: inflation. The prices of goods and services have gone up tremendously over the past few years. Everyone from the low-income group (B40) to the highest-income group (T20) can feel the pinch of the skyrocketing prices of goods. Maybe the richest group doesn't feel the pressure as much as the rest of us though 🤷‍♀.

2nd Prize 🥈 6% Beneficiary & 75 Ecency Points

What Is Your Country's Biggest Problem(s)? II Challenge #63
by: @nnurdiani

Traffic jams, almost every morning and evening, I have to go through traffic jams. Moreover, I have to be stuck in traffic from where I live to the KRL station. Jakarta is one of the cities with quite a lot of public transportation. In fact, on some roads can be accessed 24 hours. One example is where I live. Salemba, public transportation such as the busway can be accessed 24 hours.

3rd Prize 🥉 4% Beneficiary & 50 Ecency Points

     There were only two entries this week, well three I think, but @davidke20 didn't want to be included in any prizes, so I am splitting the 3rd prize rewards equally with @nnurdiani and @coloringiship, 2% post beneficiary each and 25 Ecency points each.
