ghost-tree-in-malaysia-has-human-face-0Cr.jpg


Thousands of people from all walks of life are flocking to a Malaysian village in Kampung Paya to see a "ghost tree" which has reportedly sprouted a human face which "changes everyday."

The New Strait Times reported that a five-meter tall betal nut tree in the village in Kampung Paya clearly has traits resembling human eyes, teeth and nose.

Villagers, who dubbed the tree a "ghost tree," claim the face changes each day and they are selling photographs to visitors.

Fifty-four-year-old Zainol Nayan was the first to notice the markings on the tree about ago but he said he did not pay much attention to it. He said the curves started to resemble a human face only about last week.

He told the Strait Times, "Since then, villagers have gathered around the tree to see for themselves and the news spread like wildfire, attracting outsiders."

Another villager, Noraziah Zakaria adds "I was curious and shocked to find that the curves indeed look like a human face."

All sorts of things, for example that the tree is spooked and some ghost has merged with the tree. But people who live there have actually learned to make profit out of it by taking pictures of it and selling them to curious visitors.

Then they should leave the tree there. Its a non harming way to make money:-[ I agree with the people.:) and the tree doesn't suffer because of this.

Durian Trivia–14 Fascinating Facts about the world's smelliest fruit

About the Durian

* The durian is commonly known as the "king of the fruits." The name comes from the Malay word duri, meaning "thorn."

* Durians cannot be plucked from the tree. You have to wait for durians to drop. The fruit usually drops at night.


How to Select, Eat & Store Durians

* When choosing a durian, examine the quality of the stem or stalk which loses moisture as it ages. A big, solid stem is a sign of freshness.

* Visible holes in the outside of the durian can indicate the presence of larvae inside. Durians may be attacked by insect pests which lay eggs in the fruit. These develop into worm-like larvae, which burrow into the flesh of the fruit. When selecting a fruit, make sure there are no holes on the outside husk.

* Durians freeze well, either in the rind or just the pulp sections removed from the shell. You can keep durians that have been frozen for months.

* According to Cheah Kim Wai, who has been selling durian for 7 years in Malaysia, durian should be eaten by their grades to maximize enjoyment of the fruit. “You must start by eating the lower grades first, which are much sweeter. The higher the grade, the more bitter the durians are. If you follow this technique you can truly enjoy the taste of the fruit and appreciate the difference between the grades,” says Cheah. Cheah said that if eaten in reverse, the bitter taste of the higher grade durians will overpower the taste of the lower grade ones.

I will view this as an excellent opportunity to develop restraint and overcome my inner desires to become addicted to it.

I know it will take much will power, but I shall over come the temptation.

I will avoid the possibility of becoming addicted by refusing to take a taste of it.
