🥈 Bryce Canyon and the hoodoos by Hive account@livinguktaiwan

"Hoodoo are these stacks of rocks that are formed over millions and millions of years ago. About 40 to 55 million years ago this area was full of water and sediments built up over time creating different layers of rocks. After the water dried up, erosion happened. Some layers of rocks were more easily eroded than others."

🥉 Vietnamese, Foreigners, and Chickens. Wandering in Old Saigon by Hive account@x-rain

"Vietnamese wear áo dài only for special occasions or in case they work for some entertaining enterprise like a premium restaurant or tourist company. While the conical rice hat is common in everyday life. (And that's another contrast with Thailand: the Thais don't wear conical hats)."
