Being a vegan has lead me to meet very interesting people and a whole new range of things that can be eaten. For example Durian, which I first heard about from Ha. Ha being quite the character, a raw vegan, hippy, cyclists with his own video blog on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/durianriders).

Now durian is an asian fruit and on its wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian) it has a section called Flavour and odour “... its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away."

On the bus back from work today, the girl in front of me was talking on her phone to her buddy on the phone and came out with with "well she has always bought home an assortment of fuckers" obviously in reference to a friends taste in men. This in itself was not that amazing but the reaction by the old boy next to me was awesome. He gave out a loud tutt and made the sign of the cross. I really get a kick out of people making the sign of the cross while on public transport. A bus ride back from work in the evening does not usually go by without passing an ambulance, funeral procession or even just a Church, then I can do quick look around and remind myself I am in Ireland.
