A Full Day's Supply of Vitamin C

We get our fresh fruit from the Sogo supermarket. We shop there because the produce section smells the least like durian of any of the local supermarkets (Hero, Ranch, and Kemchicks). It also happens to be closest to us. Karon started out experimenting a lot with the different kinds of fruits - soursop, starfruit, rambutans, salak, duku, and a number of others that she didn't catch the name of. We are starting to settle on some of our favorites now, primarily papaya and watermelon (indonesians love watermelon). One of the other ex-pat wives gave Karon a trick for washing fruit that she uses on the things from the supermarket. It must be working. Karon had a three day gastronomic episode earlier this month, and Derek followed that with one of his own. Other than that, we've all been pretty healthy.

Here is a good web site if you want to check out the local produce.

So with all of the experience you've had so far... how is the t.p. there - single ply or two? (potty humor!) :)

Karon and Joel-
We are really enjoying the pictures and stories from your blog. I have a nephew (Ryan)who's been playing rugby for years. We would appreciate an update on how Derek's team is doing!
