Where not to look for Cockroaches ..............

watching naked lunch three times before I went to the Indian sub didn't help me appreciate their beauty.

having a flying one land on my back while i was washing was unpleasant. I shook it off and it landed in the toilet - but I've heard they can hold their breath for 45 minutes...

Woodlouse and cockroach should have some sympathy for each other...

I can do cute things like rolling in a ball - never seen a roach do that!

I guess you've got rather more legs too!

If you have them (or suspect) that they are in your guesthouse room DO NOT lift the matress. I have an awful shock at a guesthouse in Calcutta when I did this. This is where the sleeping bag with the nylon outside came in handy.
