With three years distance to let my terror subside, I’d say he wasn’t too scary to keep me away.

I've never seen any of those in the 15 years I lived there. I don't know if there's any spider cuisine, but there's definitely fried crickets and grilled frog legs. Interestingly, both dishes taste like crispy chicken... To Vicky: You should definitely check out turkey over rice in Chia-Yi and everything edible in Tainan. To James: What? giant jumping spiders?

Hopefully the Taiwanese figure out a way to make that into a snack so I can overcome my fears with my hunger.

No more travels in the rest of Asia? Nevertheless, I love Taiwan; awesome. This article made me miss it so much ... and the National Palace Museum. Did you thoroughly explore Tien Mu while there?
