Tantra Bensko Amazing. What did you fish them out of your ears with?
Where did you go in Romania? What an adorable country it is.

Jeff VanderMeer Tweezers. Up north into Transylvania and then down south through Bucharest and then down the Danube.

Tantra Bensko Ooo, lovely. I got to visit Transylvania -- and drive though Bucharest, though I didn't care so much for what I saw of the city compared to the rural and village areas. I got to stay on a tiny island in the Danube, near Capidava.
I'd love to hear more about your growing up in Fiji if you think of any anecdotes - though you set the bar high with "professional cockroaches."

Traveller Another cockroach phobic here, also come by honestly - it involves a huge (flying) cockroach running out of a towel onto an adolescent girl's naked, wet body, while on vacation in the subtropics...
