Anti-cockroaches!!!!

I hate cockroaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There're just so many of them, everywhere....And wherever they pass by, there'll be an incredibly disgusting smell. According to some researches, this odour is a message for other cockroaches, informing them where to look for food.

Finally, my block mates and I cleaned up the kitchen today....Apparently kitchen is the graveyard, as well as the place of birth of cockroaches.



In fact, it's rather rare to find cockroaches in Moscow because of the cold weather i guess...But after thousands of Malaysian students coming here to study, it seems there're more and more cockroaches flooding in Moscow :S Probably because we can cook very well.

A friend of mine has cockroach-phobia, especially Moscow cockroaches, because they're so small, about 1-1.5cm; while those in malaysia, their size ranges from 2-4cm, or more, and they can fly!!!!! The worst thing that could happen is they want to land, but someone is yawning, and oops...aaaaaaarrrrrrmmmmmm........oops, did I just swallow something? That's what my friend afraid of, the small size cockroaches might crawl into our noses or ears and stuck there...

While those big ones, the worst thing is we swallow them accidentally; gastric acid will kill them, and we'll just have diarrhea for a day or two. Not really a big deal.

I used to live in Dunedin, in the south island of NZ for a year, and i was totally impressed with the cleanliness and no-stupid-digusting-creepy-insects environment, except they do have some creepy spiders in the forest, or some insects in north island. Guess what, i used to leave my food on the table, exposed to the environment without wrapping them or whatsoever....Few hours later, the food was left untouched.

Meanwhile, if you ever do so in Malaysia, i can guarantee you that within seconds, you can see teams of cockroaches or ants or flies are paying you a visit; within minutes, they're enjoying the food, and within dozen minutes, the food might be gone as these creatures will steal it and store it.

Just out of curiosity, i checked up online dictionary to find out how to say cockroach in different languages, because they will sound nicer in other languages...

So called most romantic language, French--Blattaria ; Russian -- Tarakan ; Malay -- Lipas ; or maybe the widely claimed most beautiful language, Italian -- Blattodea (don't forget the intonation, i love Italian because of the stress and intonation) ; Mandarin -- Zhang Lang ; or Hokkien -- Gahh Zuak (oh no, this sounds very eerie)....and German -- Schaben, which i think it sounds rather cute *vomit*

'Love thy neighbour' , so probably i should stop disliking cockroaches, but rather keep myself and my house clean to avoid cockroaches.
