Lychees and Dragons

My little cousin's boss, a really nice Chinese guy in his early thirties who owns the only authentic Chinese cuisine resturant in town, shared some really interesting fresh fruits from Asia with us. We had some fresh dragonfruit, lychees (that's one thing off my bucket list because I absolutely LOVE lychee juice) and some famous pastries from some shop in California.

I feel like being a fat kid and stuffing my face with the cute little lychee fruits and pastries.

I wanted to take some pictures but sadly my phone is completely dead (it refuses to charge anymore) and my camera is broken (the lenses got knocked out so it doesn't focus) so I just decided to use some pics from the internet.

Lychee (extremely tasty Thailand fruit)
I had to warn my cousins to not accidentally swallow the seeds because I heard they're POISONOUS!

Dragonfruit
I tried the juice and it numbed my tongue but I tried a freshly sliced one and it was AMAZING! My cousins have five more at their house along with some unknown fruits (I say unknown because I've never heard of them).

As for the pastries... I don't know what they are called but my cousin's boss said it takes TWO hours to get a box of the pastries (one hour to order and one hour to make). I think its a type of Danish pastry with cream cheese but its really DELICIOUS!!! I'll add a photo later if I find one.

Other than that my aunt and uncle mentioned something about a Jackfruit (cousin's boss is going to show them how to cut this fruit later on tomorrow - I hope they take pictures) and Durian fruit (its nature's weapon... just imagine flinging this at an enemy ^^).

As a thank you, I think my cousins and grandma want to throw a cookout in the mountains so we can show him our grandpa's land and the house my cousins' are building up there. I'm definitely going to go that time even if i get attacked by mosquito because I want to snap some more pics of the trees, bear cave, and canyon.

Plus ts always interesting what you randomly find in the forest... I once came across a campsite that looked like an old murder scene because the discarded sleeping bag had these huge tears in it and there was a shredded shirt. I took pictures of the whole scene and my uncle said it looks like a CSI crime scene photos ^^;;
