  1. Did you try the Durian? I hear it has an interesting smell. Oh and I just saw and ad for Febreeze Island scent that had Dragon Fruit - never heard of that until today and here I see they do exist!

  2. I tried durian in Yogya. Menurut saya--according to me--it's disgusting. The texture is reminiscent of thick, melted cheese and it smells/tastes like raw onions and sickeningly sweet fruit. You either love it or hate it. Most Indonesians love it. There is durian ice cream, durian cake and durian juice. But most hotels prohibit anyone from bringing the fruit inside.
