@anna Every single time I see durian posted - I remember when we carried one back home from Vancouver on ferry & city bus. No one sat near us on ferry. Everyone except the bus driver evacuated themselves from the bus. It only took 4 stops for bus to be empty except for our little family & bus driver 🤣✌️

@PhoenixSerenity can’t blame them 😬

@anna It is pretty tasty though! If you can get over the smelly 🤣

@PhoenixSerenity @anna To me, durian tastes as good as it smells "bad" (it smells strong to me, not bad, but I do try to remember most people aren't fans). People who like stinky tofu and pungent cheeses usually can come to appreciate Durian.

@jf_718 @anna Most hotels now have signs: No Durians Allowed Inside Premises.
Apparently the durian smell needs a minimum of 72 hrs to air out.

@PhoenixSerenity @jf_718 buses also have that sign. Some hotels also don’t allow mangosteen, but mine wasn’t difficult about that, thankfully
