  6. IT IS KEDONDONG!!! But, I don't know what it's called in English. My wife knows, I'll ask her. It taste really sour but is heavenly if pickled or dipped in a bit of salt and eaten raw. Yummy!

  11. anna: does it? It makes a great background for my laptop. Green is soothing I think although this particular green takes some getting used to.
