Cockroaches - yuck.
The first time I encountered those HUGE ones, me and the chap had gone to India and were staying in a fairly cheap hotel. First night - culture shocked - hot and sticky - been travelling for 16 hours. I picked up my towel to prepare to go for a shower and this enormous black monster of a roach ran up my arm. ARGH!!!!!! I brushed it off screaming and swearing, and jumped onto the bed shaking with shock, and begged the boy to kill it, kill it now! 6 foot of manhood then went hunting the roach armed with a knife and a chair - did he think he was going to train it, like lions? Of course it had disappeared, probably descended back into hell where it came from.
A month later we were a bit more used to cockroaches and wouldn't think anything of eating in restaurants with them running all over the walls. I found it was easier, if I felt something crawling on me, to brush it off before looking to see what it was..... this stopped the screaming and hyperventilating.
This is why I love living in temperate climes: no scary huge insects
