Creepy in every sense of the word.

So it's been a month or so since my last entry.  Good news.  We now have an internet cafe.  This affords more reliable connectivity than even the most secure, high speed, government, secret squirrel broadband connection.

I may not be able to communicate medical situation reports to my headquarters, but Facebook updates and reading McConaughey's blog should be a 'go' 100% of the time. 

What that really means is that I am going to be able to update this thing a lot more frequently.  Not sure if anyone is still reading this, but I am going to give you as much insight into my current life as I can.  I thought I would start by including some info on my not-so-friendly neighbors that I share this part of the world with.  Anyone who has set foot into a U.S. medical treatment area in this part of the world was probably greeted with this terrifying poster:

 Creepy Right?

Good thing I am not scared of scorpions.  Oh wait.  Or spiders. Then come to find out that this part of the world is home to this camel spider which is some demonic hybrid between a spider and a scorpion.  Awesome.

Still, the optimist in me was convinced that I would be spared these horrors and not have to worry about actually coming across any of these nightmarish creatures. 

Lucky for me these were some of the first neighbors I met when arriving to my new home.



Small pincers + Big tail = Terrible house pet



The spider is more terrifying than the mortar tube it is climbing on

Yeah, so these things are disgusting, and I am constantly checking my boots and sleeping area for uninvited guests.  Especially the kind with eight legs.
