Bag Of Fruit And 20 Baht A Kilo

So as I type this I have 5 pieces of fruit in my camera bag. As we were traveling down
the klong picking up garbage we went under a tree growing this fruit (think its some kind of star fruit, bright greenish yellow). Wan-rop and Dti (man worker) both picked it and gave it to me to put in my bag to eat later. Wan-rop said I should eat it with some kind of salt/sauce but not sure what that is. I will try taking back to the room, cutting it up and giving a try.

One of the things they try to collect in these garbage canal garbage rounds is plastic bottles. They get 20 baht (65 cents) for every kilo of bottles.
