Lord of the flies

The rainy season is upon Hanoi and those pesky mosquitos are coming out of the woodwork.  I mean really coming out -- flying into your eyes and nose and mouth kinda coming out. Thank goodness yuppienomad bought this beauty that, as the manufacturer states, is 'not dangerous to humans'.

I've been zapping these creatures to hell for the past hour.  I've even zapped a big bee that got near my condensed milk -- it's poor shriveled torso snapped in half and flung out the window (it was an accident, the bee flew into the swatter).

But yet – they keep on coming.  I must have really sweet blood or something.  I should do a study about the relationshp between 'number of mosquito bites' vs. 'the number of showers' per week. I bet there's an inverse relationship in there somewhere.
