I saw a bunch of those spiders after a rainy period on some country park walk once through a weird shortcut....my husband leading the way through a tunnel, batting webs away, me bent over like some monk bowing through the forest. It was horrible.baroness radonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593108634484542286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-27145793773126530012010-09-02T22:07:07.560+08:002010-09-02T22:07:07.560+08:00Hi Ulaca --

Good thing to since I see far more spiders -- and large ones at that -- while out hiking in Hong Kong than snakes!!<br /><br />As for the cows: have you seen my entries on Tap Mun -- *the* cow shit island in Hong Kong?! ;(YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-5505004772108814392010-09-01T11:40:33.498+08:002010-09-01T11:40:33.498+08:00Spiders--ugh.

My wife, though, is as anti-spider as one can be before becoming phobic about the little critters. She was once recruited for a job in the U.S. Southwest--the state where one had better carry his/her official citizenship documents--and one of the reasons she didn't even go for an in person interview was the very large ewafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339565669634286677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-89713056008679202122010-08-30T22:24:50.933+08:002010-08-30T22:24:50.933+08:00Hi duriandave --
