They're Here! And one of 'em jumped me 2 nights ago in the vicinity of Bucheon.

Have they shown up in your neighborhood as well?

For weeks already my front door has been swarming with them. I don't know what they like about my front door so much, but it's like a magnet. I can hardly wait til my town starts spraying for them.

One woke me up from a dead sleep last night. I started swatting at it and my wife woke up. I got the bug spray out and sure enough it landed on the floor after a minute or two. Then *squash*....bye bye bug.

Really? I thought they would've gone away at the end of winter.

Can you buy electric tennis raquets here for killing them?

Unfortunately you can't, but you can hang a sack of kimchi in the window and that'll usually stop 90% of 'em.



Poke about twenty holes in the top of the sack and that'll do it!

Yes. The vendors outside Dongdaemun Stadium sell them, 3000 won. Just like the one's they sell in Thailand (made in China). Send Mr. Quirrel out to buy one. Laughing

Good thing I can say that without irony.

And RACE, for all the times I've glance at that poster's name, I thought the same thing. Damn it. Just our tricks playing minds on us, I guess.
