Jason vs Cricket

A nice lady offered me a snack, originally uploaded by jasonwmak.

We took a 5 hour bus from Phnom Penh, Cambodia to Saigon, Vietnam. En route, we were momentarily paused by the Mekong River "pier" where we were quickly swarmed by troves of merchants selling sunglasses, mangoes/asstd fruits, banh (bread), zippo lighters, coffee (toxically awesome caffeine in SE Asia!), and insects. We turned to each other "should we buy some?" in our 5 minutes of debate and vacillation, we began to cross the river and lost our chance. Fortunately, the lovely woman in front of us bought a bag! Jason peered over and asked if he could sample a morsel and she was kind enough to sacrifice poor little fried jiminy for hungry Jason.

I documented the entire 3 second event and refused any affection for the remainder of the ride lest bits of shell or antennae remained in his teeth. Needless to say, I was impressed. He says it tasted like sauce.
