Rodents

A few weeks ago I kept on smelling a disgusting odor whenever I would leave the house. It kept on smelling and it was getting stronger as a few days passed. We found out we had a dead rat somewhere in the house! How gross is that?! My aunt said that it's hard to keep rats or other insects out because of the open windows and doors. But also there are just so many of them here, on the streets you can see plenty of sewage rats all over.

We were looking for the rat in one of the showrooms downstairs but we couldn't find it. We didn't think to look up at the ceiling! It had climbed into the walls and had gotten stuck in the Air Conditioner. So GROSS! We were all down there just laughing because just its tail was sticking out. It had been up there for at least five days. It grosses me out to think that I had walked under that rat so many times and had never seen him.

The past couple days I have seen a lot more rats late at night or dead on the streets. I have never seen such big rats before and I hope to never see them outside of Vietnam! I also hope to never see a mosquito again, but Chicago is full of them.
