Right now, the bigger problem at my house are the
giant east african snails. They're an invasive species here in Taiwan that have populated my rooftop garden. At night when I go out I can usually find a dozen of them slowly wandering around the deck.
I feel I should get rid of them, but I'm just so damned impressed that they have managed to get up to the top of my 9 floor apartment building that I can't really be mad. The biggest ones have a shell that's about the size of an avocado.
What I really like having around are the
geckos because I know they're gonna take care of any insects that make it up this high. Most of them (the geckos) are pretty tiny, maybe an inch and a half long. But there are a couple of four-inch guys who tend to hang out in the kitchen late at night.
I love living in this country.
