THESE PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN SCREENS. i've looked at about 10 places -- apartments, houses in the city and houses near farms -- and including the nice modern place i'm in now, there are NO SCREENS ON THEIR WINDOWS. and oh yeah, they're very eco-concious, so they're very strict about harmful chemicals. every evening, i have to kill up to 5 mosquitoes in my little efficiency. it doesn't help that they're mutant super-skeeters: we've been below freezing 2 nights already and still they live! if i was in a beach hut in thailand in the summer, i'd take it in stride.
i'm going to talk to my german friend (my landlord) about this. we've had many conversations about our respective cultures. i've freely admitted the foibles of mine, let's see what she'll have to say about this. yes, we elected W, but they have more skeeters than a louisiana swamp house!

Better invest in a bat. (The bloodsucking kind, not the wooden kind).
