What's the name of that Chinese fruit about the size of a plum, that looks and tastes like a blackberry, a plum and cherry had a wild threesome? It has a stone, lots of individual spiky segments like a raspberry and tastes amazing.

Have you been to Colombia to try all their crazy fruit? What did you think of the one that comes in a long pod, like stones covered in damp cotton wool (the cotton wool being that part you actually eat)?

Yes this is the one! Thank you!

What is your position on the job shift from the oil industry? Where do you see those people going? I ask because people's personal career choices (or lack thereof) can be a major incentive towards maintaining the status quo. In the end it comes down to an individual and their options.

Yep, generally true in the northern hemisphere unless there are some overriding topographical or geological (or other) reasons that drove development differently. For example in mining regions, when exploration of mineral deposits starts from the shallow veins and then moves to the deeper veins, or when topography disrupts the general west-east airflow rule.
