Haha... I hear you. Not a huge fan of all these creepy crawlers either but after 8 years of living in Cambodia I kinda got used to them. Though we have far less deathly creatures than you have in Australia. But it's already enough for me. Growing up in Belgium we had zero poisonous animals, so it took me a while to learn and live with them.
Take care!
I've not been to Cambodia but have been to Vietnam and assume it's quite similar, at least in this respect. Bloody little crawlies!
I wish I lived in a place like that but in Australia...Nah, not going to happen. Lol.
