The Forbidden Fruit

Durians! Yes I love durians!
During the trip in Bangkok, me & lover chanced upon a roadside stall selling durians and we happily bought some.

Happily we swung the transparent plastic bag with the durian as we walked boldly into our hotel.
We were already walking towards our room when we heard a shrill scream from behind, " Nooooo! Nooooo! No durians!"

We have literally forgotten that durians are banned in most places. Then again, the high pitched shrilling security lady didnt have to sound like we committed the most heinous crime. So we were indignant and decided we will eat the durian in our room no matter wat. Anyway, high pitched shrilling security lady radioed downstairs...ranting all the time on 2 "criminals" with the forbidden fruit and stared at us till we took the elevator down.

We decided to do a detour. We went out the main lobby into the rain...Walked one round to the side door of the hotel...climbed some steps to the second level to bypass the security on the first floor. We then took the elevator to the 5th floor (we were staying on the 4th) and wanted to use the stairs. Then we remembered the stairs exit is near the guard post on the 4th floor. So we decided to risk it. We will go to the 4th floor and I will act as the look out whilst my lover hides the forbidden fruit in our bag. When i determined the coast was clear, we ran all the way back to our room and hid at the edge of the bed. We felt guilty really!

Anyway, we gobbled the durian down in 5mins. Next morning, we hid the seeds in our bag....n i destroyed the evidence in the common toilet on the ground floor of the hotel.

Eating the forbidden fruit never felt better.
