Beetle Battle


Living abroad can be so challenging, monotonous, exciting, and undecipherable among many other adjectives. Just as you think you have integrated into the culture and have a well rounded understanding of the customs of the country you reside in, you encounter an elderly man sitting in the back of the famous Chiang Mai red passenger pickups with a stick of bamboo. This stick of bamboo is covered in half of a plastic two liter bottle with two giant horned insects that have string tied around their horns and then connected to the bamboo. Apparently not only good for eating, but also for entertaining beetle battles! This country, WOW!
