Well as a kiwi I remember at the tender age of 11 going to Australia for the first time and finding a stick insect on the footpath about as long as my forearm the first time we left the hotel. That was fun.

Actually I lived there a couple years in my late teens and you look up at the power lines and see big spiders in them but that's about it.

I've been far more terrified of my encounters with Suzumebachi and Mukade in Japan.

And the one time I went to the USA I nearly had a panic attack as soon as I left the hotel and didn't spend more than 2 hours outside the whole 6 days I was there cos the idea of a lot of poor, disenfranchised, mentally unstable people with guns just freaks me out.
