Things you might want to try once~


On this page, you will find things which I think one should try once. To me these things are quite obvious, but when I asked around in my class, apparently only very few had tried these things. I will mostly be talking about food because I like food.  :3


Try some Durian!

This is, if you can endure the smell of it. Durian fruits are about the size of a human head, and they are very spiky  If you happen to see a Durian tree, don't go standing underneath it! Believe me, if one of those fruits smashes upon your head, you won't be able to have a great vacation. 
They taste quite weird. I don't really like it, because you need to get used to the taste. It tastes sweet and creamy, but not very fresh and has a very slight spicy aftertaste (not that horrible painful spicy taste you get when eating Wasabi when you expect it to be something pistache-like). But I only tasted it once, whined a bit and went to eat some rice wrapped in banana leaves. (I really like those :3 a lot) Yet I do recommend to try it at least once, because surprisingly, a lot of people seem to like it after all.   
Lucid dreaming!

Some of you might have heard of it already. A lucid dream is a dream of which you have almost total control! Some people are able to have a lucid dream almost every night. To me, it almost feels impossible, but I am working on it. There are several webpages where you can find all the information you need to try lucid dreaming. So far, I haven't succeeded yet, but I have already been able to remember some of my dreams!     
                                                               Koala's are cute~ =D

Eat some Lengkeng!

The Longan, or Lengkeng fruit is comparable to the Lychee, and it's used as a remedy against stomachache, insomnia, and amnesia (not the game, if you play the amnesia game, then good luck trying to sleep). It's said that it nourishes the blood, and it has a calming effect on the nervous system.
It tastes very sweet, and its taste and look on the inside are comparable to the rambutan.


  
Taste a young coconut!

Some of you might already have eaten an old coconut, which is brown on the outside, and has white coconut milk on the inside, but in countries like Indonesia, it's more common to eat them while they're still young and green. The coconut milk on the inside of a young coconut tastes more refreshing, and less creamy. But it's still just as sweet!


Eat a Mangiss! (Mangosteen)

They'll obviously look strange to you, but they taste quite awesome!
They don't have any positive effects on your health though...
But they are not unhealthy either!
And they still taste awesome!





Eat or drink some Guanabana! (Soursop)

This fruit is very tasty, and it's a boost for your health, too!
Research has found that this fruit has a positive effect on cancer!
Apparently, it works for high high blood pressure too. (Hypertension)
It's juice tastes incredibly sweet!




Eat a Rambutan!

These fruits taste sweet, and they are juicy! They're an excellent iron source, which makes them perfect for people who suffer from fatigue an dizziness due to anemia.
Just like the Mangiss, it's quite hard to peel them.
Their name, 'Rambutan', comes from the Indonesian word 'rambut', which means hair. (Look at the peel, and you'll know why).
