No place like home..

I don't think it hit me till about a week ago... I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE ROACH AKA BUG AKA NASTY YUCKY THING AKA THE CRUNCHY SOUNDING THINGS WILL SMITH DID A SMASHING JOB KILLING IN MEN IN BLACK AKA THE CREATURE WE CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET RID OF NO MATTER HOW CLEAN YOU ARE!


Seriously, no lies... and I mean, I've worked in 2 pubs since I've arrived... I HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE MUTANT!! I can't believe it! As dirty as I sometimes think British people are (Although I do think it's mostly people from the pub I worked at), I feel like London is a damn pretty clean city. Three months and no bugs! It's awesome! No wonder I'm not ready to leave yet! I LOVE IT! 

While I'm on the topic... here's an interesting story that came out from the Guardian newspaper out here... 

How a cockroach put 30 people out of work

For the viewers of Turkmenistan's popular nightly news program, Vatan, it was another routine bulletin. But as the newsreader began the 9pm broadcast, viewers across the central Asian country spotted something unusual crawling across the studio table: a large brown cockroach.

The cockroach managed to complete a whole lap of the desk, apparently undetected, before disappearing. The program, complete with cockroach, was repeated at 11pm that night.

Turkmenistan's president, Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, was so upset when outraged viewers complained to the station that he fired 30 workers from the main state TV channel.
