To Try or Not Try - My Challenge in week 3



Out client has given Juan and I a challenge to eat durian Fruit.  The senior manager is evening willing to pick us up at night and drive us to a fruit stand to try.  So why am I not jumping at the opportunity you may ask.  Here are a few facts about durian to help decide if given the opportunity you would jump at the chance to try. #ibmcsc malaysia

  • Durian is a very smelly fruit
  • How smelly – there are restrictions on selling durian in stores and restaurants. (you never see it on the menu)
  • We can have search but not been able to find  it in the grocery stores
  • You are not allowed to bring it into the office or any item that contains durian.
  • Within the business district where I work and live,  stores are not allow to sell..
  • Thialand has created a version of durian that does not sell
  • Its recommended to eat durian at night before bed so you don’t offend others with the smell.

Would you try durian after hearing all this information?  I will let you know how the experience goes and if my taste buds survive. PS. Juan is planning to wear disposable clothes.
