Outing to Longan Farm = )

My host parents, uncle Ted and aunt Jessie took us out today, to north Brisbane to pick fresh longans!!!!!! It is indeed a nice experience for us as we haven't tried it before.
It took us about an hour to reach the farm. 1kg of longan is charged at the price of $7. Is it expensive? Well, i ain't sure about it but at least the longans are fresh enough as we got them straight from the trees. :)
There are techniques in picking the juicy longans. We gotta choose the more browish colour type of longans, trying each and another ( i mean by eating them, LOL, F.O.C huh?!) before we can actually have them cut from the tree.

In total, we got 5.6kg of the longans and aunt Jessie bought some big maggoes as well. So, in total it is about $60+? Not sure about that, haha XD
After that, we went to the beach for picnic. We got lost for 30 mins plus, i guess before we could reach the destination.
This is just a simple post, however, the experience that counts.


It is just me
