Was having dinner at a Thai restaurant in Wisma Atria, Food Republic, it was the end of the night and the staff was starting to clean up, thought the style of window washing was a little bit different then the normal Windex & paper towel.

Whistle while you work!

durian (IPA: [ˈd(j)ʊriən, -ɑn]) - No King of Fruits if you ask ME!

OK! So it has been far too long since I have posted and I have been given a hard time by far too many people so my new effort is to post once a week... :) haha

Thought I would share a common sign that is found in public places in Singapore - this was taken in a taxi cab.
durian (IPA: [ˈd(j)ʊriən, -ɑn])
Widely known and revered in Southeast Asia as the "King of Fruits", the fruit is distinctive for its large size, unique odour. The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour... Regarded by some as fragrant, others as overpowering and offensive, the smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in Southeast Asia.
So let me tell you I tried the stuff and it is no joke... it is nasty!!!
