Wierd stuff in SE asia. DURIAN!

Durian sold on the streets of hanoi.

This will be an never ending subject, but i gotta start somewhere.

The Durian, the emperor of Asian fruits apperently.
The outside looks mostly like a old old torture tool.
Spiky and green brownish, this surfuce looks like a warning sign, and maby (for some people) thats the way you should see it.

Ever since hearing about this fruit, I have wanted to dig in, and see what all the fuss is about.
Smelling it from miles away on my second night in bangkok, i got it from a little fruit vendor.
Together with a fellow traveller, we got into it.

Creamy as Creme Fraice, ore an over ripe avokado, and slightly sweet yellow meat is what hits your tastebuds, and your nose gets raw onions, and a mix of feet thats been walking round in moonboots and wollen socks on a hot bangkok day, and sunday morning after a REALLY hard night out of pup golf with your mates, doing the full 18 "holes".
But if you can get over the smell, youll be allright, this fruit is quite good, and worthly of it`s fuss.
I wouldnt crave it, but ill deffently not pass on it, getting the chance again.
Later on durian/coconut caramel, actually turned out to be allright:)
