You should write about your travels to Thailand.<br /><br />In Australia and New Zealand, they do sell frozen whole durians imported from Thailand. To me, the Queen of Durian, it has to be the real McCoy. But my siblings in Australia buy them sometimes, and say it is not too bad.<br /><br />Just posted the rest of my durian story.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-65198517645658706782009-09-11T01:26:54.160-07:002009-09-11T01:26:54.160-07:00Wonderful story!

T...Oh, that is too funny about the excrement tree.<br /><br />The first time I was in Thailand one of the house women, where I was staying, cut up a durian for me before I left on a long trip to go to the Cambodia border. She put it in a plastic bag.<br /><br />I headed for the bus, and the driver ran towards me waving his hands yelling, "No durian! No durian!" He promptly took the durian from me and put it under the bus, in the storage area.<br /><br />By the time I got to the border, it was really stinky, but one of the refugee people was very happy to have it.<br /><br />I also noticed that many of the hotels in Thailand had signs that read, "No Durians."<br /><br />About 5 years ago, I actually found a durian in an asian store in Atlanta, Georgia - it was a real one, just like it came off the tree. I was excited and they were very surprised to see an American know what a durian was.<br /><br />I have no idea how they got it into the states, but I never saw another one.aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.com
