We want more lessons with pictures because it's so to figure the English name for some of them.

Actually we can buy pomelos everywhere in Canada now, as well as lychees and many more... including... DURIAN... but it nearly smells anything here as, like all the other tropical fruits we buy here, they arrive not rippened so they don't taste that great. Anyway, when I was in Vietnam in June 2002, I remember that aweful garbage truck smell everywhere from the Durian.... ouuuuch. But I have to check for those yangmei... I am not sure if we have them or not...

A few more fruits I ate in HK/Taiwan but have not seen here yet: wax apples (bright red, empty in the middle, very juice, not as hard as apples, no seeds) and this little green apple looking fruit but with a seed kinda like a plum in the middle... I forgot the Chinese name but I think it was a plum type fruit.
