The continuous rain for three days presented an opportunity to go on a foraging trip in the mountains. With fresh bamboo shoots likely sprouting after the downpour, I ventured uphill, carefully navigating the slippery forest floor.

This foraging adventure not only yielded a delightful meal but also provided a chance to commune with nature and appreciate its bounty. It's a reminder of the simple pleasures found in exploring the outdoors and the satisfaction of preparing a meal with freshly-picked ingredients.
