Regular lychee are about the size of a golf ball, maybe a bit smaller. These are king lychee which are two to three times as big as normal ones. They are very expensive at 99.80元 (US$15.96) a kilogram. There are 11 in this package which means they're about 70 cents a pop. I prefer the small ones actually, and not just because I'm cheap.

Another cost of living post. I never had lychee before moving to China. They are an amazing fruit: sweet, juicy, soft flesh ... eating them is almost an erotic experience. These cost 25.80元 (US$4.13) a kilogram. There were 35 in this package, so they're about US9.5 cents a pop ... let's call it a dime a piece. Should pop these in the fridge first, they're best eaten chilled.
