Dear Phil - it's lychee season!
There are lychees in the market. They don't seem to be anywhere else - just in the market, so the other day I took myself off for a walk to buy some. I don't really like buying from this particular fruit seller because she ALWAYS charges me more than the going price and ALWAYS tries to give me the bad stuff. Very annoying. So after lots of bossing around and forcing her to give me the exact bunch I wanted I came home with a big bag of lychees.
Mr Martin was excited at having a New Fruit in the house because it's a chance to play with the camera. I was grumpy (it's too hot outside!) and concentrating on eating the new fruit while not wearing pants. So I granted permission for him to film this video so long as only my hands appeared:

I just drove down Dien Bien Phu and there are carts about every 20 feet. It seemed that every other one of them had the same light orange bundles of fruit. I couldn't figure out what they were, then I thought of you and your text telling me you were eating lychees. I should've stopped to get some but I will next time. They are all along that road. If you want I can get some for you so you don't have to deal with the mean lady.
ReplyDeleteLychees have a pinkish green tinge to them and bumpy skins like longans. There is another kind of fruit around at the moment that is brown and round like a spray of small potatoes. I don't know what that is, yet.
ReplyDeleteThat market lady can suck it! My regular fruit stall around the corner had lychees today too, so she will get all my money since she's nice to me.
I'm pretty jealous when I see all this beautiful tropical fruit and other fabulous food you guys are eating. When I'm in Singapore or Hong Kong in a months time though I will doing my best to make you jealous ;-)
