Eating insects

So today is Saturday which means tomorrow there is no training! With the extra time and upcoming rest, my friends and I headed to the night market tonight.

On the menu: insects, lots and lots of insects. I saw this vendor last time, but didn't have the balls to try them. Well this time I would not walk away without a bite. So my Denmark friend Phillip and I tried 3 types of fried insects: big grasshoppers, small crickets and a huge larvae of some sort, maybe it was butterfly cocoon. Anyways there were surprisingly good, so good in fact I almost forgot I was eating insects that were oozing with juices - especially the cocoon.

In addition to the insects, I also bought some gifts and souvenirs for back home. Unfortunately I couldn't find a specific gift my friend Adam requested (it was a bottle of liquor with something foreign in it - as in a scorpion or snake shell), But I will keep on looking!





Peace from Phuket.

  1. Don't worry about it Jack; if you can't find it easily then it's probably not worth it! Just don't bring back fried insects! :D
