Eating tarantulas and playing Jenga in a brothel

On our way out of Cambodia we stopped for one more night out with Mikey - and got our passports and visas to Vietnam. We went to a lovely little cafe for dinner, where the boys convinced me to eat tarantulas. Not one, but two.

The first wasn't so bad - taken in small bites with LOTS of sauce. The second was for a dare - I had to eat the whole thing in one bite (or as close as possible) and I would get $10 from Adam and a free drink from Rios. Which I did.

Then they added a stipulation that I couldn't have any other beverage during the entire 15 minutes it took us to pay and get to a cocktail lounge. The crunchy exoskeleton was in between my teeth for the entire time.

Mike is a shady bastard. Listen to his remarks in the background.


Bitches. Victory never tasted so sweet. Just like chicken.

After dinner and drinks, Mikey left us while we decided to continue the party. As the bars started to close, we found ourselves a little stranded in a sudden downpour. We took refuge in a little bar that looked cute ... but turned out to be a brothel. Easy misunderstanding.

We played 4 mean games of Jenga and happily took down a few cocktails each before calling it a night.

Thank you Cambodia. Next stop - Vietnam!

Why weren't you that much fun when you lived in New York?

I literally had to cover the picture of your "meal" with my hand in order to read the post.

I wish I was joking. I'd love to commend you for your bravery, but really I'm horrified.

Good work on the brothel though. Somehow you have more experience with those than anyone else I know... and it's usually not on purpose

To Andrew:

Have you ever heard of the song "I'm So Much Cooler Online" by Brad Paisley? I'm not suggesting anything -- just throwing it out there.

I do appreciate that you argued with the statement "you're a dude on the outside" instead of arguing with "you're a squeamish little girl on the inside"

I demand more videos. It's like you're living in my computer screen, which is significantly closer than Asia.
