I didn't realize how many yellow things were in my house until I created the latest ASEAN Hive challenge, so I decided I would submit an entry.

🪖 Yellow Helmet & Socks 🧦

     Monkey-B came from school today wearing her yellow helmet and yellow socks, and it was at this moment I remembered the current 👨‍💻 ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #83 🧀 Finding Yellow Everywhere 🐥. Of course as the creator of the weekly community challenges, I disqualify myself from the prizes but I still like to join when I find the time and/or inspiration.

Suki Sauce Cap 🍾

     After my youngest daughter unintentionally inspired me to keep looking for more yellow things, I didn't go far before I noticed the suki sauce bottle cap. I can say less than 20 words in Thai and can't read any of it, so I have no idea what the cap says and I'm too lazy to translate it with an app. The important thing is that it's yellow, well at least for this occasion.

Monkey-B's Yellow Hoodie 🥷

     In what seemed like a bizarre series of coincidences, after Monkey-B changed out of her school clothes into something more comfortable, she happened to be wearing her yellow hoodie, so I snapped some more pics and kept searching for yellow things, refusing to literally snap pics of the low-hanging fruit outside the cabin, bananas.

My Trusty Flashlight 🔦

     After years of neglecting and destroying flashlights, I decided to purchase a flashlight intended for SCUBA diving, and now this has been my handheld light for 15+ years. Bright yellow is often the only color available for underwater things, I assume for visibility reasons like if you stir up the silt on the sea floor and can't find your light. Having a sand-colored flashlight in such a situation would be regretful.

Split Mung Beans 🫘

     Although not technically lentils, split mung beans are (for me) a suitable replacement for dal here in Cambodia. It is possible to buy various kinds of lentils from Indian suppliers in Phnom Penh, but the price is nearly 5x the cost of buying local Cambodian split mung beans. I've made a lot of adaptations to Indian food during my years in Cambodia in order to make it more affordable. Coconut oil is my ghee and and tofu is my paneer, just a few more examples.

The Orchid Blaster 🔫

     In some ways Cambodia is cheaper than neighboring countries like Vietnam and Thailand, mostly in regards to things produced by human labor. Cambodian rice exported to Thailand and Vietnam because it's cheaper, but things that require factories of scale or lots of technology are often imported and more expensive than they would be in the country of origin. Our yellow orchid sprayer from Vietnam is an example of this, and our shoes, band-aids, batteries, nearly every household item we have was produced in either Vietnam or Thailand, and transport costs were added to that.

A Yellow Trifecta 🍌

     Just when I thought things were done, I realized my wife's pajama pants are kind of yellow, and she was eating a banana that's questionably yellow. But most definitely the lighter she found on the old road next to our fence is yellow, brand new, and functional. She didn't even know about the yellow challenge going on, so this was quite the coincidence. Thank you all for reading and I look forward to checking out other challenge entries.
