Asian Roadtrip Slash Instant Vacation

Hey guys if you have not noticed, i was gone for like forever. As you may know i post/comment almost everyday except the last 2 months since i was so busy wrapping up my South-east Asian tour.

To kick things off, here are some photos of my visit to Vietnam.

Fields and the mountains, baby



View from the bus window






There's a friggin bug beside the bus window @__@




When i saw this I was like, i wanna take this home for my reptiles lol



Saw this deep in the woods.. What do you guys think lives here? Haha



Of course, no Asian tour is complete til you've tried local delicacies; deep-fried bugs and spiders. P.S. i condone this tarantula treatment!! Lol






Getting ready to be cooked Old world Ts anyone?




That's part 1 for now lol

Don't they break the fangs off with a machete or something, so they don't kill each other while they're waiting to be cooked?

I heard they are really really salty tasting. At least from a YouTube video of Gordon Ramsey trying some. lol

Slightly sweet taste but deep fat fried in rancid palm oil, everything tastes pretty much the same. Best roasted over a campfire then dipped in hot pepper sause.

I can't help but wonder if that quantity of tarantulas being taken for the food market is impacting local populations beyond their ability to recover...

I would also never eat anything fried in palm oil. That goddamn shit is ruining all of south Asia.
