Bed bugs and a crazy monkey.,

Kota, 20-02-1995. Kota is just a small city but convenient to pass the night before moving on to Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary. The town even has got a small zoo, big enough to while away the hours untill darkness will decend upon the indian sub-continent. At the zoo we watch in amazement how a wild monkey keeps jumping on the back of chital deer and trying to ride them. Whenever the chital goes wild and throws the monkey off, he`ll disappaer in the tress just to repeat the attempt. Despite the hefty 250 Rp. we pay for our room we soon after retiring, find out the bed is alife with bed bugs. Following up on some old chinese advice I picked up in Malaysia we leave the light on and sleep with a T-shirt wrapped around our eyes, apperently the light keeps the bed bugs from coming out of the matress. It worked!!!
