bug bite blues.

september 5th

so now that i am living in a much more ascesible apartment the joy of being japan has returned to me. i am actually looking forward to my days of wandering, to japanese food, to exploring, to talking to people and struggling with my japanese. the things that i find the most difficult now are little things like bug bites. this sounds grose, but i have bed bugs. actually, to be correct they are tatami bugs. now at the orientations we were all warned that bugs are big and common in japan. to this i said nah...i'll be fine. now i sit at my desk at work, giant bug bite swelling on my hip, squirming in anticipation of being able to kill those damn bastards and find some sort of calomine lotion.
