Lychee
The lychee, litchi, liechee, or lichee (Litchi chinensis; Chinese: 荔枝) is the sole member of the genus Litchi in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae.
It is a tropical and subtropical fruit tree native to the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of China, and now cultivated in many parts of the world. The fresh fruit has a "delicate, whitish pulp" with a floral smell and a fragrant, sweet flavor. Since this perfume-like flavor is lost in the process of canning, the fruit is usually eaten fresh.
An evergreen tree reaching 10–28 metres (33–92 ft) tall, the lychee bears fleshy fruits that are up to 5 cm long and 4 cm wide (2.0 in × 1.6 in), approximately 20g. The outside of the fruit is covered by a pink-red, roughly textured rind that is inedible but easily removed to expose a layer of sweet, translucent white flesh. Lychees are eaten in many different dessert dishes, and are especially popular in China, throughout Southeast Asia, along with South Asia and parts of Southern Africa.
China is the main producer of lychees, followed by India (Bihar accounts 71% of annual production in India), with production occurring among other countries in Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent and South Africa.

Yesterday Feels Like A Year
by: LashesI've had some idea
Some things would work out.
I guess things have worked out,
At least so far.
Time moves by,
Just been waiting
Or more like waiting
News I thought far.
Something isn't right,
It just don't make sense.
Nothing feels for real,
I'm tired of past tense.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And it looks like I'm still standing here.
I hope I don't sound insincere at all.
What are you taking me for?
Don't you know by now?
I've been playing.
The things you've been saying
Don't get me down.
Something isn't right,
It's all just pretense.
Nothing feels for real,
I'm tired of past tense.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And it looks like I'm still standing here.
I hope I don't sound insincere at all.
Don't you know about what I've been trying since my birth?
You think that your dollar signs can make me what I'm worth.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And it looks like I'm still standing here.
I hope I don't sound insincere at all.
Yesterday feels like a year,
And I'm glad that I'm still standing here.
