Japanese and durian...

Vasco went out for a nice Japanese lunch with granny today. He ate everything so quickly that he forgot to take some photos! But the food was really nice, Vasco had: roast beef, tempura shrimps, miso soup, rice cake pizza (!), fish cake, chicken, pumpkin salad (tasted like ice-cream, really yummy) and sweet potato chips.

At the restaurant, the TV was showing a marathorn held somewhere in Japan. It was really strange, watching those people running for more than an hour...Vasco wondered why the program was shown. It was totally pointless...

Then the surprise came: Vasco was taken to a Chinese dessert shop where granny had her favorite durian puff cake. Phil had his durian pancake.

There are two types of people on this planet: those who love durian and those who hate it. There is no in-between. Vasco is in the latter category. The stink of durian knocked poor Vasco over. He totally fainted! Vasco can not understand why durian is called 'King of Fruit'! It smells worse than the stinky cheese man!
