Special guest

Life in a Machiya is not always fun. Yesterday night when I was reading in bed, I heard some strange scrabbling. The girl upstairs told me yesterday that she has a leaking roof, but that couldn’t happen on my floor. After I took my glasses of I saw a huge cockroach around the edges of the wall. It disappeared with some help from me, behind a cabinet. Fortunately I slept well.
Today I bought some packages of cockroaches destroyer. The girl at the pay desk explained me how it worked. Afterwards she said very proudly and with a smile: ‘it’s the first time I explain this in English’. Let’s hope this will keep them out. Although my neighbor likes them.
