Good morning Sunshine, again...time for holidays, to read newspaper with nice coffee and a croissant. I found a topic in the news paper. It’s so funny! It said “No more durian storms, just ‘mungkut ones”
The name durian brings back bad feeling about the damage that Tropical Storm Durian caused to the Philippines. A team was set up to chose an alternative name. They came up with mungkut, a tropical ball-like fruit with translucent flesh inside a reddish-brown skin which is the Thai word for mangosteen.
The World Meteorological Organization’s Typhoon Committee accepted the change last month. Durian has been replaced with ‘mungkut'
