Day 1: Dragon Fruit

Today, we ventured to the supermarket, only to be overwhelmed by the selection of fruits and vegetables - many of which we do not have vocabulary for, even in our native languages. Delicious manggas, passion fruit, snake fruit, durian, rambutan, lychee and other delicacies. We picked up some dragon fruit and dug right in - YUM!

A beautiful magenta color and tasting kind of like a mild kiwi, the dragon fruit was a perfect afternoon snack. We are now going to continue working through the fruit in our fridge and explore Indonesian tropical fruits. Our Indonesian classes were a good preview. When we started the fruits and vegetables section, not only the words but also the concepts were new. I guess we'll start adding new frames of references one piece of fruit at a time!
