I don’t like Japan anymore.
Because Japan got mosquito one.
I mean, Japan has got so many things. Sushi, bullet train, manga, sakura, Capsule, pachinko, 7-storey adult shop, and hentai old men in porn theatres and all other weird things in the world. But who would have thought that they have something so insignificant and mundane as mosquitoes!!!
I woke up feeling itchy all over my body. I thought it was some new form of hay fever. You just go like, itchy all over and then die. But no. it was the bloody mosquitoes.
I hate mosquitoes more than any other insect in this world. I mean yea lizards are slimey and disgusting and geli and all that. But if your room has got lizards, they don’t come and kacao you when you are sleeping do they? Ok they might go like ciak ciak ciak ciak a bit, but that’s bearable, isn’t it? They don’t go, falling down piak piak piak piak from the ceiling one by one onto your face, do they?
But the bloody mosquito will bloody come and bloody sting you in the middle of a bloody night.
I really don’t understand why whatever forces (i shall still refrain from using the word God, although i reserve the rights to still take it in vain.) that created this earth created mosquitoes. What bloody use have mosquitoes got?
I’m so angry. I want to live in a country that has no mosquitoes.
Oh ya.
Did i tell you that Japan now is bloody hot? HOT. Like, hell. I want to die. The tv news says that the day i arrived was the end of rainy season and the start of a burning hell. What did i say about being fateless with Japan? I want to run back to Scotland and freeze my ass off.
And anyway, it was really hot in the afternoon. At night, it sort of cooled down, and it was that kind of temperature where it is too hot for you to tuck yourself under a futon and too cold for you to sleep naked, if you know what i mean. (No i can’t use a thin blanket because we don’t have one.) So the whole night i just kept alternating between:
1. pulling the futon to cover my body to prevent the bloody mozzies from attacking me
2. waking up feeling too hot and decided to remove the futon
3. falling asleep tulanly thinking about the mosquito
4. waking up because of an itchy foot/arm/thigh/finger/palm (they bloody bit me on the palm. Can you believe it?),
5.pulling the futon to cover my body to prevent the bloody mozzies from attacking me. Oh. did i say that already.
Anyway. Ad nauseam.
Anyway again. I reckon you would want to see some pictures. From now on i shall attempt to blog about my pathethic little hot life here everyday. I swear. It’s only getting hotter everyday.
Field outside our house.
Horyuji (法隆寺) is a Buddhist temple in Ikaruga, Nara. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Look at the weather.
And the kids.
They look soooo much darker now!! But damn cute!
You can’t see much of Yuuri here because his new camwhore style is now you see now you don’t.
Anyway, i really don’t mean what i say in the first sentence. I had yummy sushi last night.
Whee am I first!
I know exactly what u mean – too hot to sleep with blanket but too cold and too many damn mozzies to sleep without. Last time me in Malaysia always like that. Hate mozzies. Lucky in Aus not so many mozzies. Still got lah, but when they bite not so ganas like Malaysian mozzies.
And I never knew Japan could get that hot! So sakai. Paisei. But nice pics eh!
Wheee I just saw your Yuuri post. Omg. He is sooooo cute.

And I think Hokkaido is hot enough. Must be worse down south. You should travel north instead. People say Hokkaido has the best summer. Which is just as hot as Msia I presume…
are you there now? (i know ur flag changes all the time).
Yeah, I’m in Sapporo. For the next 2 years. 🙂
I warned you it would be hot.
Aren’t there mosquito screens on the doors and windows?
I’ve got them on all of mine.

mosquitoes SUCK!!
I don’t think for a second whacking it…piak piak!
Japan got mopiko what, it works great.
hahhaha thats a good one
You can move to Alaska, there are no mosquitoes there. And also bloody cold so that not even germs can spread.

YESSSS!!! STUPID MOSQUITOES!!! it’s like EVERYDAY i get new bites all over!!! at first, i thought they just love foreign blood ( u noe, change taste ) ,but its been weeks and they still find new spots to bite everyday!!!! MAD!!!!!!

YA YA YA!!!!!! WE KILLED ONE LAST NIGHT!!!! SHIOK!!!! Which part of Japan are you in?
i’m in tokyo but sorta outskirts laa. itabasi-ku…
it’s still rainy here tee-hee~ i think our burning hell will start next week? lol..
Ringo,
MOSQUITOES are nasty. The summer weather is awakening the evil little critters up here.
The one great thing about winter is that all the bugs go away!
However, the only place free of bugs all year is Antartica.
Try a product that contains DEET ( N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide – that is a mouthful!).
I found some useful information on things that attract and repell mosquitoes. BTW Ringo, there is absolutley no way mosquitoes would not be attracted to YOU! You are just to tempting a target.
Use the following list of items and activities that attract mosquitoes as a list of things to avoid or that can be used as bait to lure mosquitoes away from you.
Dark Clothing
Many mosquitoes use vision to locate hosts from a distance. Dark clothes and foliage are initial attractants.
Carbon Dioxide
You give off more carbon dioxide when you are hot or have been exercising. A burning candle or other fire is another source of carbon dioxide.
Lactic Acid
You release more lactic acid when you have been exercising or after eating certain foods (e.g., salty foods, high-potassium foods).
Floral or Fruity Fragrances
In addition to perfumes, hair products, and scented sunscreens, watch for the subtle floral fragrance from fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
Skin Temperature
The exact temperature depends on the type of mosquito. Many mosquitoes are attracted to the slightly cooler temperatures of the extremities.
Moisture
Mosquitoes are attracted by perspiration because of the chemicals it contains and also because it increases the humidity around your body. Even small amounts of water (e.g., moist plants or mud puddles) will draw mosquitoes. Standing water also allows mosquitoes to reproduce
Natural repellents:
Citronella Oil
Lemon Eucalyptus Oil
Cinnamon Oil
Castor Oil
Rosemary Oil
Lemongrass Oil
Cedar Oil
Peppermint Oil
Clove Oil
Geranium Oil
Possibly Oils from Verbena, Pennyroyal, Lavender, Pine, Cajeput, Basil, Thyme, Allspice, Soybean, and Garlic
Let me if any of this helps you live with the critters.
David
😉
lol thanks so much thats a lot of tips to remember!!!
Ohhhhhhhh I feel for you. I hate mosquitoes…every summer when I go back to M’sia my family gets a relief from mosquitoes, because I am the BEST mosquito repellent! All the mosquitoes come to feed off me and leave them alone. -_-
(here in France there are a lot less mosquitoes and somehow they’re not so bloodthirsty…)
why cuz they all gourmet is it. savour the momentssss
Haha French mosquitoes are gourmets!!! I like! lol
You don’t want to return to Scotland/UK it is so frickin hot over here! It’s like 30 celcius here I’m buring my white ass off here ❓
ya meh!
Horyuji quite deserted. Japan not in summer holidays yet?
I think I hate cockroach more…
roaches dont make u itchy all over!!!
lol i have the same problems with mosquito, they say it’s because my blood type is too sweet/loved/what gives. so annoying. but at the same time… I always sleep with my mouth open one…
then one night, coz i sleep on the top bunker, a lizard somehow fell straight into my mouth. colgate also can’t wash the taste away… so they do come flying down piak piak piak but right into your mouth if you’re not careful.
eww i can taste it in my mouth again ~.~
p.s your photos are showing you as sweaty perspiry little thing. you poor thing hahaha it’s winter in aussie!! woo!
EEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOMGGROSSSSSSSSSS
eh srsly i dont think i can laugh about it if that happens to me what turf.
aiya, i haven’t seen a lizard in the last 6 yrs that i have been here in Aussie, so I can kind of laugh about it (in the yeah-ok-i-have-been-there awkward laugh way). but i still shudder when i see a lizard.
it’s incredbly disgusting and vomit-inducing lor
1. i love your blog even tho pink isn’t my fav. color
