Street Melons


Heyo, how was your week­end? Mine flew by, filled with good eats and fun times. I know I’ve been say­ing this for awhile now, but our time here in Guangzhou is really com­ing to an end now– less than 10 days left!!

The weather has been great lately: clear skies and bright sunny days, and shoot, I don’t know if my body has accli­mated to the humid­ity, but it just doesn’t seem as hot as it was last year! Ven­dors have set them­selves up close to our house, sell­ing coconuts and huge slices of mel­ons, for any passer-by wish­ing to beat the heat. I’m always tempted to try these lus­cious look­ing fruits, par­tic­u­larly the huge slices of mel­ons that are sold on sticks.

Thanks for stopping by. This blog was borne in late 2010 as a way to document the sights, eats, and experiences in Guangzhou, China. After two years, six countries, numerous meals, and countless encounters with locals later, I'm back temporarily in Washington, DC (and I love it). I'll be jetting off again to Africa in 2013, so keep on coming back for some good reads!

  1. It’s amaz­ing what you kind find on the streets! When we were in Phuket, we saw a cart that sold sea­horses on a stick. Gross. At least the water­melon seems healthier.

    • Thanks for stop­ping by, Megan! It seems like any­thing can be sold on a stick in Asia, doesn’t it?! I’ll be mov­ing to Tan­za­nia in a year, and am so excited to be in Africa for the first time. Will def­i­nitely be mak­ing a trip to S. Africa, so most likely will be in need of some tips from a local ;)
