On Fruit

I like fruit, I always have. I remember living in southern California and eating 6-8 oranges from our tree everyday in January. It was good, but the fruit here is on a whole new level. I would imagine that this is because tropical fruits grow here, as opposed to Minnesota. Near Jesse's is a street devoted exclusively to selling fruit. Apparently, Acehnese business models ascribe to the logic that if one guy sets up a profitable coconut shed on a street, this is the only place where coconuts will sell. The street will soon sell coconuts exclusively and will be the only street in town to do so.

Jesse thinks that I can sample a new fruit every day while I'm here. So far I have had Guava, Mango, Pineapple, Papaya, Oranges, Jackfruit and Passion Fruit. I notice that the stalls also have apples imported from Washington State, and I haven't tried any of those. I've seen Avocado on juice menus. I think that will be my next experiment.
