A Sense of Smell


I had no idea how intense my sense of smell was until I came to Asia. I do remember getting mad at people for their bad cologne, but I thought everyone could smell it too. Like this man sitting 2 tables away, I could smell him the minute he walked into this open air cafe. I know I should get over it, but I get a headache and then a little cranky ya know. So Asia has really introduced me to some scents I wish I didn't know about. Topping the list.....

Durian Fruit. Somewhere between rotten compost days after a thunderstorm and pungent toe jam. Ah no thank you. But don't get me wrong, I love it here.

Run if you see this, but you will likely smell it first.
