  • On Green Island, a former prison island off the coast of SE Taiwan where political prisoners were incarcerated and re-educated during the unnervingly recent White Terror. There's actually still a high-security prison on the island, but it only holds 200 inmates (actual felons, not polital prisoners), as opposed to the couple thousand of earlier decades..Now it's mostly a tourist destination. We visited in the off season in March, thereby avoiding the 5,000-10,000 tourists that inundate the little place daily, though, being the off season, we had to contend instead with intermittent cold rain and high winds.

  • Local children playing a gamve with stones and sticks at Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia. The temples at Angkor are spread out over some 40 miles around the village of Siem Reap, about 192 miles from the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh. They were built between the eighth and 13th centuries and range from single towers made of bricks to vast stone temple complexes. Regarded as the supreme masterpiece of Khmer architecture, it is a huge pyramid temple built by Suryavarman II between 1113 and 1150. It is surrounded by a moat 570 feet wide and about four miles long. The bas-relief carvings are of the highest quality and the most beautifully executed in Angkor..

  • A Theraphosa leblondi, the world's largest tarantula, caught by Yanomami youths, roasting on the embers of a fire. Chaurino stuns the leblondi by whacking it with a stick, gathers its legs, and lowers it onto the fire. The spider makes a final hiss as its insides heat up and it shoots out a yard-long spurt of hot juice. Sejal, Venezuela.(Man Eating Bugs page 174 Top)

  • Chaurino Perez Andrate, 17, offers a plate-sized sample of roasted Theraphosa leblondi, the world's largest tarantula in his village of Sejal, Venezuela. Chaurino stuns the leblondi by whacking it with a stick, gathers its legs, and lowers it onto the fire. The spider makes a final hiss as its insides heat up and it shoots out a yard-long spurt of hot juice. After it is roasted for about seven minutes, its charred hairs are rubbed away and the legs pulled off. When we crack them open, there's white meat.(Man Eating Bugs page 175)
