It's that time of year again, when Durian fruit is in season. All over the city, trucks are parked on the side of the road loaded with Durian. This wildly popular fruit tastes great (according to my friends), but it has one down side: the smell is enough to knock you off your motorbike. The smell is something of an onion/sweaty socks/hot garbage mixture...
The one time I tried Durian, it tasted great... for about three seconds. Then the sweet tasted turned into the onion/sweaty socks/hot garbage mixture already mentioned. I only swallowed it because I was surrounded by friends who had offered me part of their Durian, which is relatively expensive.
Maybe one day I'll learn to appreciate it, but for now, I look forward to the day when Durian season is over...
