The first of a few mini updates, MEGA GRAPEFRUIT!
That's not actually what they're called, I have no idea what they're called. In southeast Asia something you can often buy off of street vendors are these large fruits. I always thought they were a type of coconut because they're huge and hard as a rock. On my way to Saigon in the epic traffic jam (more on that in my update about Saigon) I tried one. It cost 3000 riel (75 cents) and it has to be peeled with a machete (yes, it's that big, and that hard). Once peeled you're left with the membrane which you can pull apart and eat the pieces. The individual segments are about 1.5 times bigger than the largest grapefruit, they're dry to the touch but taste like grapefruit (only a little sweeter), and are juicy and delicious! That is all.
