"No classes next week," I told my Japanese college students, "I'm going to Malaysia."
"Bring us back a souvenir," they clamoured.
So I picked up the ideal gift from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on my way back from HiveFest 10...
Something easy to carry that would carry something of the flavour of Malaysia...
Durian candy! (Buy four, get one free, from one of the airport shops.) The candy were boiled sweets.
Here's the reaction of my students after trying the candy - or not, in some cases!
For some reason I ended up calling "durian" "Dorian" in the video - as if I was channeling Oscar Wilde, his Portrait of Dorian Gray. Let's put that down to jetlag.
Dato Durian Candy
One of the presentations at the Chain Culture conference was about how a durian farm had created "the world's first" web3 "durian backed crypto token" - an "RWA" (Real World Asset) enabling investors to invest in durian farming via crypto.
The presentation caught people's attention, not least because one of the blokes was dressed up as a durian. I neglected to take a photograph.
I thought the presentation was a great example of how web3 crypto can be used to enable anybody to invest in "real world assets."
If you'd like to invest some crypto into Malaysian durian farming, go to:

A Clip Round The Ear From A Penguin
Okay, since I failed to photograph Durian Man, or the presentation, or the gift bag, or my three mature students trying the DatoDurian candy, and even mispronounced "durian" in the video, here's a pic of me getting a clip around the ear from a penguin:
