The second week of classes was rather uneventful, other than the ripening of the custard apple! On Tuesday night, which also happens to be the night that the pizza places have cheap deals and there are 1$ movie rentals, we decided that the custard apple was ripe enough to try. So we tore it open and began experience this weird tropical fruit. It has a white-ish flesh that is segmented in such a way that it almost looks like fish. Inside of each segment of fruit there is a large dark brown seed. The fruit has the texture or a mongo without all the fibers, but it tastes like a mix of mango, pineapple and lychee. It was a very odd fruit, and I ended up eating way more than my housemates, who didn’t seem to enjoy it too much.
That was pretty much the excitement of the week, other than having a huge meal of chicken and mashed potatoes and salad and dessert of ice cream with passion fruit and pomegranate seeds. It was a pretty nice week and tomorrow we’re venturing out to see the ‘Direct Factory Outlets’ and to see Chue’s friends at Rusty’s market.
