In response to a comment - "What is a durian?"...

The durian is the so-called "king of fruits". The "queen of fruits" is the mangosteen. One would wonder that it isn't the mango, seeing as mangoes are so amazing.
Daniel, Jeremy, and Davina hate durians and all their byproducts. Dad, Mom, Andrew, and myself quite enjoy it.
Buy a durian at your local Chinatown.
You may regret it.

being the journey of six Asians - Anthony, Alice, Nathan, Dan, Jeremy, and Davina Lee - and an Irishman, Andrew McMullin, into the dangerously safe tropical urban mecca that is Singapore...a record of hair-raising happenings, exotic edibles, and funnies (picture six Asians and an Irishman in a country where every sentence ends with 'lah'), unfolding over the course of several weeks in cramped planes, inexpensive food courts, and four-room flats...exploring the manmade wonders of the city and the awesome handiwork of our Creator...

Haha! Durians are rather smelly I hear. It is, believably, quite difficult to eat things that aren't pleasant to the nose as well as mouth.
Someone in our church, who actually recently visited Singapore for awhile, LOVES durians... I can't say I know anyone else that likes 'em.
Cherries are better :)
Clearly the durian fans are quite emphatic concerning it's royalty as they felt the need to devote a site entirely to a piece of fruit. I've never had a mangosteen, but the name makes me incredibly happy so if I ever had one, I might just make myself like it on principal.
Keep them coming if you can! Again, I reiterate that your consistency is quite astounding.
I am happy to learn about the durian. Thanks for the helpful info! I can understand why they would not be aloud on a subway if they are odiforous. After a second glance at the "NO DURION" sign, what is with the egg carton like thing? Do they package Dorians like that?
Thanks for keeping us informed with your blog! It is so good to be conected. We continue to pray for you all.
Love,

It looks like two dying cacadas trapped inside a milky abyss surounded by a cage of spikes!
how did someone come up with the notion to ingest such a think.
weeeeird.
thanks for the info though - now I know what to stay away from. =P
