We are back with our eighteen Culture Corner made by me and so far is going great, I get to share the wonderfulness of the ASEAN community.

Welcome back to another week of culture corner and the first post on our list is made by @nurmalahayati. It is about a mat woven by hand which is not common anymore since machine can do one faster. So handmade stuff are considers uncommon and very special, and the problem is not the time but the technique that is being passed down. The second post is made by @luueetang about local market which always better than supermarkets when it is comes to veggies, meat, and fruits. You never really where stuff comes from in supermarkets, and there is a higher chance that the person who is selling the produce, are the one who planted or raise the produce.

Handmade Woven Mat with a Beautiful Purple Diamond Pattern by: @nurmalahayati^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Today I would like to share one of the woven mats that has just come off the loom. This mat features a combination of purple, pink, and cream colors arranged in a diamond pattern, creating a simple yet elegant appearance.	The local market is usually the best place to visit by: @luueetang^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} This is the local market here in Miri City. There are lots of stalls here that sell a wide range of fresh vegetables and fruits. This place is near the Brunei Miri border. This stall sells Petai ( stinky beans) that are used as a culinary ingredient in sambal sauce here in Malaysia. This stall also sells some dragon fruit.	My Daily Life Post: "Adopting Street Animals and Doing Some Of My Chores" by: @daily.life^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} I really love pets, even if it is a kind of street animals as long they wont bite me or they will not afraid of me. I was very surprised today when three kittens and the Mother cat came here in our house and it looks like they already abandoned by the pet owner.	Our Good Girl Marga Loves Bath Time by: @kellyane^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Most of the dogs I've seen really struggle during bath time because they simply don't like getting wet. They often try to escape, making it quite challenging for their owners to bathe them. The first time I saw my mom giving Marga a bath, I was genuinely amazed by how well-behaved she was. She stayed calm the entire time and didn't make any fuss.

The third post on this list is made by @daily.life about adopting street animals and doing some chores. We actually recued our cat from dogs and animals tends to always go to those who helped them. Also the animals that you saved or adopted are mostly if not always grateful, and that also gave them personality. The last post is made by @kellyane about giving her dog a bath. I can't say my cats love bath but they also clean themselves so we rarely do it. I think every animals are different, some hate bath but some loves them like Marga.
