Lived a few years in China. Thought it can’t be as stinky as I’ve heard. Bought one. Cut it and it was nearly unbearable to me. Had to take the trash out of the apartment it was so strong. Like some strong flavors or aromas if you’ve experienced it since childhood no big deal, if not it’s just too much. Couldn’t manage vegamin in Australia. On the other hand I never had Indian food as a child, yet loved the strong, savory flavors as an adult.

I've known a few dogs who figured out all by themselves how to make me laugh.

Our husky is quite certain he's fluent in human language. And he is too, for anything he cares about. There's never any question about what he wants or doesn't want. He'll tell you.

They roll in dead fish, chew up dirty underwear and eat cat turds out of the litter box. For a dog to react so dramatically, durian must be amazingly awful. Anthony Bourdain once said that after eating durian, “Your breath will smell as if you'd been French-kissing your dead grandmother.”
