I guess these unsightly things will just grow on you. After all, once you get past the mosquito bites, ant stings and drains that go someplace you don't want to know, you'll begin to appreciate the beauty of this city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233502769232126183.post-74416998701292170242008-12-14T00:17:00.000-05:002008-12-14T00:17:00.000-05:00Rick is right, the canals drain into either the Da...Rick is right, the canals drain into either the Davao River or the sea. I can show you within a short walk from my place one of the outlets into the river. Not too healthy and explais why swimming anywhere on the Davao side of the bay is not a good idea. My theory on the Mosquitos is that the American diet is richer in protein and sugars so our blood tastes better to them.

There are also lots of people who just don't care and won't cooperate. I'm ashamed and wished they will understand the importance of sanitary discipline.

I am not good at blogging. Barely started years ago, but I'll do my best read-worthy from now on :) I hope you'll drop by some other time and know what you think.<BR/><BR/>Regarding your present problem, the pests, best thing to do i think is put a screen on your windows and always carry along an insect repellant.
