#19 - Drink from a Coconut

Like so many things in life, I based my expectations of drinking from a coconut on t.v. and movies. I pictured a tropical nectar somewhere between ambrosia and a Corona commercial. I was disappointed.

Honestly, coconut juice/goo is a warm, slightly syrupy drink that while healthy and pleasantly sweet, is tough to get through. A dude with a machete cut it open right in front of me (very cool) but that means it was room temperature and in Malaysia that means warm. I had to power through the surprising amount of liquid inside (you lied to me Tom Hanks in Castaway) and fought down a slight gag near the end.

All up it was a good time, but I probably won't do it again.
