Attack of the Flying Cockroaches

It’s starting to get cooler in Hong Kong, but it’s still nothing like Minnesota. Today was sunny and 20 degrees Celsius. That’s 68F. It’s supposed to get colder and darker the rest of the week. Compare that to Minneapolis. Today was 40F and cloudy. That’s 4C. It’s supposed to get colder and rain the rest of the week. That rain will turn to snow pretty soon. It will never snow in Hong Kong.

The great thing I’ve noticed about cooler weather in Hong Kong is that the bugs all go away. At home, having insects in your house is a sign of dirt and poverty. In Hong Kong, insects are everywhere. Even the richest people in the most palatial mansions have to deal with mosquitoes. What really bugs me is that the cockroaches can fly. I’ve never seen flying cockroaches before in my life. I used to think that the only good think about cockroaches was that they couldn’t fly. Here they can.
