| THE BANNED ITEMS |
Monday 21 Aug
On our way on the bus to meet Sarah and Joe. Sarah’s the daughter of Maggie, friend in
Edinburgh, and Joe’s been sent out here by his company in Scotland, Skyscanner. On the bus is a sign that can also be found
on entrances to the metro system. At
first I was a bit puzzled about the sign when I first saw it. Why wouldn’t they allow durians on the the
subway? Then I remembered that they
really do smell and that’s one of the reasons I could never eat this
fruit. Also the texture is gluey and
slimy.
So, when in Singapore remember you can have a knife or a gun
but don’t smoke, eat a hotdog, travel with pets, drink juice, carry a can of
gas…or take aboard a durian.
