Last night, I awoke to an annoying mosquito buzzing in my ear! I freaked out because for the last 4 months I haven't had to worry about these annoying bloodsuckers. But now that the weather has warmed up, I guess they're back.

Where do they go in the winter? Do they hibernate? Lay dormant as eggs?

I wish death to all mosquitos! Evil or Very Mad

Mosquitos are probably the only creatures that when I kill, I neither regret it or pity them. In fact, I enjoy seeing their little bodies splat on the wall! Twisted Evil

I saw one a couple of weeks ago, it was tiny. I expect there's gonna be loads more very soon. Not good!

Looks like I'll be sleeping in my bedroom with one of those coily smokey things going all night very soon. Not worked out if they're good for me.....at least I don't get bitten.

Mad Mad Mad

Ha ha, there must've been some kinda mosquito conspiracy last night. Luckily, I managed to avoid getting bitten.

There's something that you can plug in (like an air freshener plug) to an electrical outlet that supposedly works really well. Virtually no smell either. I imagine it's got to be better for you than those mosquito coils?

So... I go to Home Plus and say "Gimme one of those things you can plug in to an electrical outlet, like an air freshener plug, that supposedly works really well?" That would be entertaining. What's it called in Korean?

I'm sick and tired of the mosquitos in this country. Did you know that they never bite me? My wife wakes up covered in eight bites, and I have none. What the hell, are they racist or something? Just because I'm a foreigner doesn't mean I have HIV. Just drink my blood, damn mosquitos!

I hate it when you are sleeping and they buzz in your ear. then you wake up and you can't go back to sleep until you kill that little f-er.

Koreans call it a 액상 모기향 which basically translates into "liquid mosquito incense." If you were to pronounce it in English, try saying "Ek sahng moh ghee hyang." I think there are a few different brands.
