I've been in Western Australia for just about a year. Of course I've seen many differences but I won't compare. All I intend to do is to say what is good and to attract what is good. Besides, everything that has happened to me and to everyone around me has been a blessing.
The first blessing which came to me and an ongoing one, if I say so myself, is the Kiwi fruit. The Kiwi fruit is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and fiber. Take note that prior writing this article I didn't know that but I did hear that it is filled with antioxidants. That and the fact that the fruit tastes good especially when it is a little bit over ripped (i.e. it tastes sweeter the ripper it gets), makes the Kiwi fruit an instant favorite. Earlier this year, one fruit was around one dollar but a few months after, it became 4 fruits per 2 dollars.. then 5 fruits per 2 dollars. It is practically being given to me.
How To Eat a Kiwi Like An Expert
1. Cut the Kiwi in half
2. Use a teaspoon (not a spoon) to get the edible part of the fruit.
The Kiwi I usually get are the brown fuzzy skinned ones with green insides. I really didn't give much attention to them when I was in the Philippines. The first time I appreciated them was when I went to New Zealand a few years back. In that country, the word "Kiwi" had a colourful meaning. There was a Kiwi, the fruit; Kiwi, the animal; and Kiwi, the person. Being there, I was bombarded with Kiwis and so I had to know what they were.
Prior my visit to New Zealand, I never really thought about living in another country other than the Philippines. But, when I was pleasantly bombarded with the Kiwis, my eyes were opened. I began to see myself as a citizen of the world and I knew that I can live anywhere I want to. There were really other countries to consider. I could have gone to Singapore because I had friends there and my brother lived in Malaysia. I could have easily visited him if I were there. I could also have gone to the US where my other brother was. Then there was also New Zealand and, of course, a close relation to it which is Australia.
So what does this all mean? I have been wondering why I like the kiwi fruit so much. Is it because it is practically healthy, sweet, and refreshing? Or is it because it represents one of the biggest decisions of my life? I think I'll have more reasons listed here as i eat it and as I continue living in Australia. First year living in Australia completed. Now there are a lot of things to happen still and these Kiwi fruits will somehow become my witnesses.
