Durian Day

I decided to join the bandwagon and be the expatriate that makes a blog to update friends and family back home. I wanted an outlet for random/fun thoughts, photos and experiences. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for keeping up with my journey!



So, yesterday I finally tried the infamous fruit...Durian! For those who have never heard of this unique and spikey looking fruit, it has quite a strong smell and you either love it or hate it, I'm told. I actually will probably eventually love it...I enjoyed trying it! The legend goes that it takes 3 times trying it before you love it. But I definitely wasn't repulsed, the only annoying thing was the flies buzzing all around us as we were eating. I asked 2 of my local friends to go with me down the street to help me choose one. It was a memorable experience! I reccommend that anyone travleing in Southeast Asia should give Durian a fair chance!
