Yea true, I have many friends who can't take the smell. Also with my flatmate before I had to eat outside, but he could still smell it hahahaha
Yep, the smell is very strong. Everyone will know you have eaten durian. Haha...you cannot hide it. Do you know that every time after they eat durian they will put water inside the skin and add some salt then drink it. Not for the smell but they said is for reduce heat in your body.
I didn't know that! Never seen or heard this! interesting!
