It seems like having screens to keep one from being attacked by mosquitos is a bit of an anomaly here.
You are so right! I'm living with locals and they seemed perfectly content to allow the mosquitos to swarm and feed on us. I kept asking:
1) What can we do about the mosquitos?
2) What do the locals do for this?
3) And my favorite: Are you people all insane?
All questions were met with dead air.
I went to the hardware store and used pvc and rubber cement to build screens. They love them, but I'm still baffled by their apathy in the face of misery.
