The Battle Rages On

The weather is warming up, which means it's time for drinking iced bubble tea, eating cold mung bean soup, sleeping in front of the fan, and........

resuming our war on mosquitoes.

Last summer we stuck to a defensive strategy, draping a cream-colored mesh mosquito net over our bed.

But last week, we realized it's time to go on the offensive...especially after I awoke at three in the morning to Kalan standing over me in his pajama pants, furiously clapping at mosquitoes who had dared to enter our little tent.

Hence, we added a new weapon to our mosquito-slaying arsenal...

an electric tennis racket!


Not only does it kill the bloodsuckers on contact, but it also makes a sizzling SNAP and satisfying spark when you hit one.


The best part is, we don't have to turn the light on anymore...or even open our eyes. When we hear one buzzing, we simply grab the racket and wave it around our faces until....

SNAP!
