Electric Mosquito Racket
[ronny.haryan.to] These electric mosquito rackets are really a lifesaver (...) The mosquitos in Indonesia are especially cunning and well trained to maneuver human attacks, normally in the form of hand grab swoosh, hand clappings which makes a loud noise but no kill, or using any kind of large but usually thin and round or square object like a book, sapu lidi, or body pillow. All these usual kinds of attack are no good, unless you’re Flash.

On my two visits to Bali, Warung Wulan and Warung Lingga were my choice of cafes, to the point that I stopped trying for better, and ate at one or the other at least twice a day, with a jaffle of a goreng at the Bagus pub in between :)
[Cyworld.koreanblog.com] cyworld's blog: • Health workers are stepping up efforts to eliminate the mosquitos that spread dengue fever after the number of infections in parts of Malaysia rose significantly, an official said Tuesday. About 250 suspected dengue cases were reported each week in Kuala Lumpur over the past month, compared to an average of 100 weekly infections in December 2003, said Ramlee Rahmat, director of the Health Ministry's communicable disease control division. Similar increases were reported in central Selangor state and the northwestern Penang island, mainly because recent weather conditions have benefited mosquito breeding, Ramlee said.
