So anyway we had stopped at a shop so Margaret could buy a washing brush and I could help getting out of the car to check this fruit out. I had seen it around and I kept asking Victor what it was but he couldn't tell me in English what it was. So here I am asking the man what it was and could I take a photo, which he wanted to charge me 10 rupee for and another man came up to me and said "Excuse me, but you really shouldn't eat that fruit." Like I had planned to when it is sitting in the open on the side of the road with flies all over it. He continued to tell me how it was very unclean and Yadda Yadda Yadda. "Thanks for your help but I am not that stupid." Was the reply in my head, oh sometimes I think people here must think us white folk are really dumb. The man selling the fruit was disappointed that I wouldn't buy his fruit or give him money for taking the photo so I made a quick get away back into the safety of the car.
