ReplyDeleteThis is a great start to a list like this. Also, that fruit is possibly the FREAKIEST thing that one is intended to eat that I've ever seen.

ReplyDeleteI want to try a mangosteen so badly. Too bad I have no idea where to obtain one.
ReplyDeletethis made me smile, thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteBambola - Fanks! And you should!
ReplyDeleteCassandra - It is rather alien-looking, isn't it...but, Justine Larbalestier insists often that it is delicious.
Maya - I'd be grinning too...;)
Summermoon - whythankschickadeeyoushouldmakesureyoucomealongforsomeofthem.
Q - Likewise, sadly. At least in the U.S.
pinkapplecore - Aw, well that makes mee glad. :)
Love your list! I'm in the middle of writing a life list at the moment, it's taking ages because I keep adding new things...

ReplyDeleteI made my own. :)
I love it! Except in my opinion mangosteen does not taste as delightful as it looks. What you really want to eat is rambutan, which you can find here: http://blog.hotelclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/01_rambutan.jpg
ReplyDeleteAHH just posted a life list too! although i admit - yours is a little cooler ;]

Such a great list
ReplyDeleteI think mine needs an update - haven't though of it for a while now (can actually cross some things off! woohoo!)

céilí's are so good!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally publish your poems yourself with lulu.com or something and give the book out as presents!
ReplyDeleteI was mistaken as a Dutchwoman in Amsterdam!!! :O
ReplyDeletepakitroki - Nuhuh! How funny! I put that on the list because I'm part Dutch, and I've been told that's the nationality that comes through the most in my appearance. Anyways, lucky you! Hehe.
