Size of Mukade

So, maybe a mukade doesn't scare you? We had a baby one in Zina's room yesterday which made everyone freak out, including me. So yeah, this one was kind of small. It easily fits inside the slipper so it shouldn't have been scary. Well, for all you neigh-sayers out there.........
Id like to see you let one of those buggers live when they can get this SIZE!!!! Yeah, thats right. Kill it, kill it, kill it now!

Invasion part 3

We have had invasion part 1 - mukade centipede, invasion part 2 - massive spider under a girls bed and now invasion part 3 - the attack of the gecko.

Julia, the only swedish girl here, had just got back from the shower and went into her room. From the kitchen we hear a blood curling scream followed by Julia running into the kitchen wearing only her bath towel yelling "THERE IS A FUCKING ÖDLA IN MY ROOM". In the heated moment the word gecko slipped her mind and ödla was the word that came out instead.

After chasing the ödla out of her room I'm convinced that it was perhaps not part of the invasion of creepy crawlies taking over International House II, but perhaps a friendly creature helping us in the hunt against spiders and other yucky things. It was kind of cute too, kawaii perhaps ^^, but it was pretty big.

The Lake

About 5 minutes away from I-House 2 there is this little lake where it is possible to rent a boat for an hour for 900 yen. The sun was shining, it was 28C and a little breeze so Zina, Rosie and I decided to sit in the middle of the lake and have a drink.

Overlooking Kyoto from the hill next by our house

It is so beautiful out here in Kyoto, I really enjoy it here. It is city life, without actually living in the big city and it is quiet too but without the deadness feel of living out of town. Also, with all the hills and nature surrounding us it just too nice. 1 drawback though is of course all the creatures of the 100 legged type, the 4 legged type and the 8 legged type. Oh well, its something I can live with.

Yesterday I heard a scream coming from one of the girls room. Apparently there was a big spider in there. My curiosity got the better of me (I cant stand spiders at all) and I went in to help kill it. After moving the bed which that spider was hiding under, it ran across the wall and towards the main door. It was the biggest spider I have ever seen. A good 8-10cms in diameter. (It got killed before I could take a picture so you will just have to believe me).

So far in our rooms there has been lots of wildlife. Besides us, the students and our wild life ^^, there has been 1 centipede, 1 gecko and 1 spider all in the past 4 days. That's all that we have been able to see *shudders* haha
