They may survive nuclear warfare...

...but this cockroach that just crawled over my foot and attempted to scuttle away didn't stand a chance against the impacting force of my chair. Feel my wrath.

Insects here are more scarce than I had expected. Spiders, likewise. I quite like that actually. It's one of the first things I noticed here, that there weren't any flies around us at the airport. It came as a little shock to me.

I mean, it's not that there are no flies. It's just that in comparison with India which is so like this country in so many ways, the big separating points seem to be the people's skin color and the number of flies bugging you. That's it, as far as I can tell. It's almost as though the same architect was brought in to design both countries.
