Mosquito Bite

It wouldn't be summer without mosquitos...

For whatever reason, mosquitos in Korea seem to have acquired a particularly spiteful reputation among the American ex-pats in Korea.  I do remember, however, from back when I was a child still living in Korea, visiting my paternal grandmother in Daegu, an inland city infamous for high summer temps, and sleeping inside a mosquito net, which I had never seen before and have never needed since.  And this year I was halfway convinced I was going to get through the summer without too much damage, but no...

I knew better than to scratch, but after a while I just couldn't stand it any more..., and it spread out and now it's huge.
