Spiders...

I know I said I really wanted to try fried spiders, a somewhat expensive delicacy here in Cambodia. I went to a "bug booth'' in Battambang and tried other things, not including spiders as the vendor told us that it was not spider season... Well, apparently it is spider season in Phnom Penh because I just walked by a HUGE bucket of fried tarantulas. They were really massive. Just expand your hand to maximum size and thats how big they were. I know I said I wanted to try them, but seeing them... well... um.... maybe later.... I wondered where they collected the hundreds of tarantulas to fry. I hope that its no where in the vicinity of my hotel room....
