I’m usually not afraid of bugs, but this was not a bug…
It was a monster. Ok, story time. I was lying in bed the other night, talking on the phone (in Japanese) to this guy I met at a club last weekend. I was trying desperately to sound cool, which as you may imagine, is difficult when Japanese isn’t my language. Enter monster-bug, crawling across my bed. I screamed and ran the guy must have thought I was hit by a bus or something. I yelled so loudly that my homestay mother came upstairs and caught the bug for me. Very uncool indeed. Afterwards, my entire homestay family had a great laugh at my expense. What did the bug look like? Well, it’s pretty accurate to say that Japanese insects look sort of like North American ones, except they are about 10 times bigger and some are poisonous. Enough said. I slept on the couch that night.
Who u gonna call?…
I meticulously cleaned my room the next day after work. “I ain’t afraid of no bugs!” was my motivational theme song.
P.S…
I would say I’m sorry for not updating recently, but I’m not.
