Pinapple on a Stick


Today I just went by a 'pineapple on a stick' street vendor. (In February, no less!!) One nice thing about living in Yunnan is the fruit, and I don't mean my students! I mean lots of beautiful, fresh fruit of all types year around, especially tropical fruits. Because the southern areas of Yunnan Province are very warm and tropical, in Kunming, the provincial capital, there is a steady stream of gorgeous fruit from the south. I've never been a big fruit eater, but living here is changing that. The pineapples are scrumptious and juicy. The street vendors sell all types of fruit loaded up in their carts. Yummy.

I have found the same thing with the vegetables here in France. I can't stand peppers and tomatoes in the US, but I find them very delicious and edible here. It's more than the romance of the area.
