  7. Ummm, beautiful shot and this fruit looks good enough to eat. I've just spent 24 hours in the Hong Kong airport...quite a spectacular, modern bustling place but, alas, not one bright colorful Indian sari. I am homesick for the country of my heart. Today, hopefully, I will find a hotel within my budget...otherwise, this may be my home until the 10th.

    1. They are sweet and a bit sour. They are cultivated in the tropics. You can get them from Thailand where it is called Champoo.
