Cockroach Skidding

I like outdoor toilets, only when [a] I am on holiday; [b] I am the only one using the toilet. I had a run-in with a cockroach last night. It was hiding in my towel, and it fell out when I put it on my head. It fluttered at my left ear and skidded down my unclothed body.
Needless to say, I was super traumatised. I felt like Nell, from the eponymous movie, where I jumped back straight into the tub, crouched there while trying to recover from the ordeal and gave myself a super hot bath again. My friend heard my screech and came into the toilet, and tried to kill the cockroach which I had trapped under my towel.
I still shudder when I think of the ordeal, and I feel like cutting my ear off. ARGH! And I spent the whole night fending off mosquitoes and freaking out each time I hear them buzzing at my ear.
Other than that, I’m having a pleasant time in Bali. I visited a kindergarten and an orphanage today; and went for a massage. Bliss.
Notice the white dog sleeping on the beach. So cute!
