World collectors finding stones locally & sharing on IBC

Seeing another region's enthusiastic collectors is a treat. Everyone is posting in English (thank you very much!!!) and reaching international browsers who rely on that language.

Is there a reason that Filipino and Vietnamese stone enthusiasts have recently chosen IBC to share? We are seeing new stones and new tastes, which hopefully opens everyone's perspective. Padychitan has shared bonsai & stone appreciation that warmly connects your culture to others. Several collectors in Vietnam (our friend Vung among them) have shared stones and even sources of seat carving.

It is exciting!

Hi Chis and friends . This is a forum very good and dynamic include bonsai , suiseki , pot , bonsai question... However , some Suiseki collectors from Japan , Taiwan , Korean , spain , italy ... with many good stones and strange stones no present on forum . I think that , Admin and IBC members of this forum need connect them with forum .
I like stones from my country but I learn to play stones from others.

Hi nguyen thai ly,

Welcome to the forum, please dont worry about the "language barrier". Although this is an english forum, it is not about english proficiency, we join because we want to learn from others and share whatever we know. It is our love for stones that binds us together.
We would appreciate it if you could post your stones.
Cheers

Chào mừng đến với diễn đàn, xin vui lòng lo lắng không về "rào cản ngôn ngữ". Mặc dù đây là một diễn đàn tiếng Anh, nó không phải là tiếng Anh thành thạo, chúng tôi tham gia bởi vì chúng tôi muốn tìm hiểu từ những người khác và chia sẻ bất cứ điều gì chúng ta biết. Đó là tình yêu của chúng tôi cho đá đã kéo chúng ta lại với nhau.
Chúng tôi sẽ đánh giá cao nếu bạn có thể post đá của bạn.

Chúng tôi thỉnh thoảng có thể gây kích ứng lẫn nhau vì niềm đam mê của chúng tôi, nhưng trong ý nghĩa sâu xa nhất chúng tôi là bạn học với nhau và chấp nhận những hạn chế. Các thành viên chỉ có những người sẽ cảm thấy không thoải mái sẽ là những khẳng định có chi theo cách của họ để đánh giá cao đá.

We might occasionally irritate each other because of our passion, but in the deepest sense we are friends learning together & accepting limitations. The only members who will feel uncomfortable will be those insisting there is only their way to appreciate stones.

Hi Nguyen thai ly,ka pabling & Chris,
totally agree....spoken like a true gentlemen...let us share and create friendship that our interest will be solid as a ROCK'
I Remain,
