Food post: #3

Linda introduced Rob and I to a durian, a spiky, melon-sized creature known as the "king of fruits." We ate all of it. The fun part was making fun of how anyone could like it (and they really like them here). It smells like an alley. It tastes like soap. It dries out your throat. It's fatty. And it gives you bad breath.

Also, durians are powerful aphrodisiac, cleanses blood, cures PMS and depression !

LOL aphrodisiac.
All in all it was a fun night, despite the bad smell of durian burps, so I can agree it spreads positive energies.

Can I please get a post about Sorofos?

Any chance you'll get to try kava kava while you're out there? It's big in Polynesia.

I think you'd enjoy it.

Didn't try any kava kava. Working on a post about Sorofos, excellent suggestion.
