1,3.5.6

1 & 6 mostly 3 was mostly a girl thing but I did like asham, my sisters always know where to get it. 6 because we were the mango capital of Kingston, but I could only eat No. Eleven, every other kind of mango made me sick. 5 was due to being introduced to it on holiday visit to the country!
