Suicide Bombers

Being in Trinidad for over five months i'm begining to see differences between here and Jamaica. One particular one that has started to drive me crazy are the suicide bombers. I'm actually talking about the common mosquito, except the ones here dont seem too common. These creatures of mass destrucion are on a search and destroy mission and no-one is safe. Ok, so you might think all mosquitos are lik that but what really makes these take the cake is the fact that they are perfectly willing to give their up their life for the cause. They attach themselves to you and refuse to let go untill they are finished their job. You cant simply shake your leg or fan the area to get them off, the only way is to kill them. As can be imagined they are pretty easy to kill. Its amazing how slowly and lightly one has to hit them because they're not moving, no matter what. The problem is that killing them isnt always convienient, if you're washing dishes, brushing your teeth, sleeping etc. its just really annoying
