Update: Moving, Roaches

The two new teachers and I finally moved into the school building! We were relieved to finally unpack our suitcases and stretch out on our own beds. Our rooms are really nice, and so is our view of Chittagong:


However, our rooms were also infested with cockroaches. We spent our first afternoon/evening running around with cans of bug spray, killing at least a dozen of the little (big?) suckers.

A Victim

Finally, we went to bed, exhausted. We didn't have mosquito nets yet. The school buys them for us but had yet to purchase them. All three of us (at the time) were on anti-malarial drugs, so we didn't think much of it. I fell asleep exhausted, only to wake up with something, something crawling up my arm onto my shoulder. COCKROACH! And a big one too, a few inches long. I flung it across the room. My roommate was also awakened that night, by a cockroach on her face.

We got mosquito nets. Needless to say, I now call them critter nets.
