Last night, we took a trip to China Town and with Chinese New Year a couple weeks away, things were hopping!
Lots of dried meat and mushrooms being sold, and lots of decorations, special shoes, special pink flowers and a feeling of happiness in the air. Very cool! We got lost in the crowd for a while and then found a less crazy corner to eat a bit of dim sum with some purple dragon fruit juice for dessert. yum!
The food in this city is incredible!
We also tried our first taste of durian via ice cream sandwich.
Get this:
multi colored wonder bread with a large slice of durian ice cream in between. (Not what I call a western ice cream sandwich myself)
I have to say it smells of a strong funky spice and tastes a little bit like a funky cheese (skanky smelling sweat sock meets brie type deal) I loved it, and Rodolfo wanted to yak.
Tonight it is off to Jakarta Indonesia via Tiger airlines...roar!

Sounds like you guys are having a great time! Love the description of the durian via ice cream sandwhich. How has the language barrier been. Shelby was curious. We miss you guys, but it is great to her your adventures. You are causing us dumb Americans to learn a little geography.
I was wondering when someone else would try eating Durian. Maybe the next time we meet you can show me some better ways to prepare it and then I might learn to like it.
