==================
 GJ> The trends seem to indicate an inverse price relationship with the
 GJ> distance from the durian plantation times the seasonal production in
 GJ> units per day.

   There is also a special factor applied to sales made
 GJ> to tourists residing in luxury hotels, as distinct from those made to
 GJ> locals out in the street, picking their fruit from the piles on the
 GJ> footpath.  If the latter are travelling in a local company vehicle

 GJ> cheapest ones, in Sumatra, were for 5 fruit, eaten by 4 of us; a
 GJ> memorable feast!  We were satiated.

I presume you had no company business to deal with soon
afterward, meeting clients or executives or the like.

 GJ> Most durians are special events for me.  It took me over a year from
 GJ> when I first smelled durian in a non-airconditioned taxi in
 GJ> Jogyakarta, to when I first braved eating one in Lae, PNG.  I then
 GJ> regretted all that lost time.

What were you doing in Yogyakarta (Jogjakarta)? And what's
there to do. Lilli and I are staying in Borobudur for a
couple days in January after our (prepaid) Singapore trip.
She does not eat durian.

 GJ> I have discovered a new diet food.  It is chicken liver in coconut.
 GJ> I made it up last week, and it tasted good, but there was a lot of it,
 GJ> so I only ate some, for the first 3 days, leaving it out of the fridge
 GJ> for some hours.  On the 4th day it smelt a "bit funny", but not all
 GJ> _that_ bad, so I finished it.

"A bit funny." That sounds more Kevinish than youish. Let that
be a lesson to you (what kind of lesson is up to the student).
