the rambutan, Nephelium lappaceum, is a fruit considered exotic to people outside of its native range. in southeast asia, however, the rambutan is a relatively common fruit like the apple is common to many people in North America. i took this picture today when i went to chinatown for a dimsum lunch when i passed by the fruit stalls.

day 150 - dried fish
my dearest friend and her husband and daughter are in town visiting. first stop, dim sum at chinatown then we went to buy fresh tropical fruits. whilst waiting for them, i took picture of these dried fishes. reminiscent of days when we were young children in the old country and those dried fishes were a "staple" during those poverty stricken years. seems like another lifetime.
