Durian Season

George and I went to Chantaburi (300km. from Bangkok (3-4 hours drive) to visit my grandparent.
They live on the beach with 4 dogs. My grandma prepared a lot of crabs and durian for me. And that is how my durian season begins....

It's really hard to find a good durian in Bangkok. Most of the farmer cut durians when it is quite not done.
That makes durian taste bad. My grandparent used to have a durain farm before so they know how to choose durian. I had to come all the way down here to eat it. 

I love crabs. I can eat a lot of it. And because we're near the sea, we can get a really cheap yummy fresh crabs. I ate a lot of it. I want to sell it in Bangkok but I don't know where I can sell it yet. I really think that people will love it. A good crab in Bangkok is too expensive and I think I can sell it a lot cheaper.

I mostly stay on the land. I don't swim in the sea anymore since I was 17 yo. 

When we first moved here, I and my cousin fishing and swimming on the weekend all day long. 

But after awhile I was kind of sick of the sea hahaha.

I just want to sit and watch it but George is very active. I don't think he can do that. He always asks me to walk on the beach or swim.

My grandparent's house also has a swimming pool. But we realized later that it needs a lot of attention and we don't have that. My grandparent are old and they don't have energy to clean it everyday. So now we have frog cycle pool instead. We have many kind of frogs. Sometime we have snacks, because of the frogs.

The durian my grandma bought for me was really big. I think it's 5-6 kg. And I ate it all by myself.

We spent only 2 days with my grandparent. I took durian with me. George was very kind to let be bring it in the car. He hates it. hee hee

After we came back, 4 days later, my customer who has a house in Chantabury gave me a durian. I was really happy. It seem small but it's a lot. I spent 5-6 days eat it. But 3 days later, the same customer gave me another one. I was happy again but another one will be scary! I can't eat it that fast.

I have to pack it in the freezer to keep it tastes the same. It becomes Durian Ice Cream.

Not only fresh durian I ate, two of my customers gave me a very big bag of durian chips. I was really stingy with the first bag. I didn't want to share but the second bag was sooo big. I wanted to share but nobody wants it. It's been 5 days already. I haven't finished it yet.

Lately, Bangkok is raining almost everyday. I found a lot of this in my garden. It doesn't look like in the movie but good enough. It's very fast in my opinion.

By the way, In already sign up for American Homestay 2014. You absolutely are going to meet her again!
George just found Apple Jacks at Villa Market. It's really expensive here. I can't wait to go to America again.
