Smelly Fruit!
On our tour, our guide stopped at this fruit stand on the side of the road when we told him we hadn't tried this fruit yet...apparently it is THE fruit of Malaysia...its called Durian fruit and the first time I saw mention of it, was when we checked into our hotel, there was a note in the notel services book that said, absolutely NO durian fruits allowed in the hotel....I wondered why and then I realized when I stepped out of the car--it STINKS! It is just a terribly rancid smell that sticks around and would probably send all hotel guests running, if it was brought into the grounds...Erik was very gracious and kept eating this fruit that our guide kept splitting open for us to try, I politely had a SMALL bite and then moved away... GROSS!
