Yesterday went downtown with a good friend to a area which is like a foreign food bizzarre. Various types of food and liquior that you cant normally find at local supermarkets are sold there for very good prices. It was a interesting place and I was happy I chose to go with her.

later in the day. Got some Thai food and headed outside to a sitting area where we had good conversation and enjoying each other's company.

At one moment I started to feel something on my leg a slightly pinching sensation. Curious, I looked under the table and discovered that wed managed to sit above a huge colony of ants underneath and a dead cockroach. It was the biggest one Ive ever seen. I'd call it a Madascar flying cockroach - or the ones you see in Texas or south america. It was being swarmed by ants. Im not too fond of ants so I jumped up which prompted G to jump up after noticing what I noticed. We both run to the sidewalk in an utter panic.

But I still had that slightly pinching sensation on my leg beneath my jeans and I figured it was probably a few ants so I reached down to brush them off from under my jeans but it wasnt an ant. It was a huge cockroach about 2 inches long and about an inch wide.

I SCREAMED bloody murder and shook my leg vigorously. It flew off onto it's back, flipped over and crawled away... right over G's, who wore flip flops feet. She screamed. I screamed. We both screamed and ran away.
