Omitting all else in Singapore, we must show Durian Fruit. The national passion for a fruit that smells so like rotting garbage that it is banned in all public enclosed spaces, hotels, taxis, etc. We found it delicious, and supposedly the most concentrated source of natural vitamins in the world. Singapore's open air markets and food stalls are excellent, the shopping expensive but thorough, the people happy and helpful. A great starter for the new Asian traveler.
