The ASEAN Hive VIP Lounge is full of animals this week, both exotic and non-exotic, all for your petting and feeding pleasure.

🐗 Petting Zoo Now Open 🦡

     There is nothing more nostalgic and kid-friendly than a good ole' petting zoo, or at least that's the case for me, someone who grew up as a boy in the countryside of the USA. This week I have reached out to all my connections and mustered up all the animals I could get, of course by the most humane means. Everything from mogwais to house cats and mini horses to capybaras is in the VIP Lounge this week, so watch your step and enjoy.

     As far as I know nothing is venomous or has fangs, but that doesn't mean certain creatures won't bite. Oh yeah, there are no cages either, so I guess the animals are as free to pet you as you are to pet them, just a friendly warning. Animal lovers should enjoy this experience though, and I hope everyone can make sure the animals don't get into the bar and discover the booze. While you're here there are some awesome posts to check out from each of our VIP tiers....

The doggy "sploot", some pizza torture, and overpriced apartments

by: @gooddream - ASEAN HIVE 💎 VIP DIAMOND

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} A lot of people that don't know what life is really like over here in Vietnam or the rest of south east Asia for the matter have this very untrue idea in their heads that those of us that have our lives over here just live these existences of constant excitement and glory and while I am sure there are some people that are like that, I certainly don't know any of them. I was that guy briefly in the past when I took on a job as a Scuba Diving guide and later an instructor, but that just wasn't something that could keep paying the bills so I had to move on.

A breath of fresh air at Kundasang

by: @luueetang - ASEAN HIVE VIP 💿 PLATINUM

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} One of the best things to do these days for me is to bring my parents to places whenever I get the chance. After that, we went to a nearby market. There are so many different local snacks. The star is the exotic fruits that are sold here ranging from from fresh cabbages, carrots, and tomatoes to exotic fruits like tarap and durian.

On the first day after returning from the hospital, my old duties returned to normal

by: @newhope1988 - ASEAN HIVE VIP 👑 GOLD

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Hello everyone. Yesterday I came back from the hospital and my daughter is feeling better and the doctor has made an appointment for her to go back for a checkup on Friday. So I took my daughter home and came back to take care of my eldest daughter so that my husband can work more comfortably. And my work today started at 6 am. I woke my daughter up to take a shower and dress her up to send her to school because the day I took my youngest daughter to the hospital last Monday was the first day that my eldest daughter had to go to school.

Flavorful Boiled Eggs + All Foods We Had Yesterday

by: @piyamas - ASEAN HIVE VIP 🥈 SILVER

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Is there a time when you make or cook food without a specific name or recipe to follow? It happens to me sometimes and it's really fun creating my own recipe on the spot without thinking about what to make as long as I enjoy cooking in my style and consider how healthy or nutritious it is. Well, I did it in one of my dishes yesterday. We sometimes have boiled eggs for breakfast. We had some yesterday and something came to my mind. I wanted to make the eggs more flavorful for our lunch.

Years in between! Yet Same Route!

by: @me2selah - ASEAN HIVE VIP 🥉 BRONZE

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Yesterday, I was scrolling down the photos on my Facebook account and was nostalgic with the pictures and memories uploaded in the past years. I saw my life from being single to being married and eventually having children. When I first created my account on that platform years ago, I was fond of uploading photos of events in my life and making albums. It is nice to see those photos and remember the memories I've created with friends and family.
