I remember living in Okinawa, running through the woods as I'd normally do whenever I'd get out of school. I was alone and ran into this giant spider, think they called 'em "banana spiders". Sucker was larger than my hand...huge. I recall staring at it almost in a trance, and walking back very slowly unable to take my eyes off of it. I was in his territory, + I knew it. Sucker scared the shit out of me...
But ya know...it was only the size of this creature that bothered me. I think I was ten years old.
After moving back to the United States I seriously "can't be bothered"...not after seeing that thing.
Snakes, however, are another story. Me and Indiana Jones feel the same exact way about those slithery things.
