# 27 Mosquito Net

Over the past year I've grown quite fond of my mosquito net. Especially now, during raining season when mosquito are at an all time high and I swear by the number of mosquito bites I have I'm bound to get malaria (joke, joke). Its become part of my routine to tuck in and out my net in the morning and night protecting myself from the swarms of mosquitos and gecko droppings that shower my floor every night. The mosquito net is something unique to my life in Thailand and although it might not be as significant as other aspects of this culture it has become an everyday routine that wont be a part of my life returning to the states. I remember my first few nights sleeping under it in my new house with feelings to excitement and fear of my first days teaching. Now, I have come to my last month with my beloved pink net and not wanting to let it go. Like so many little aspects of my thai house and routines I've adapted to over the course of the year such as sweeping the house every night of fallen bugs, boiling pots of water for a shower, hanging my laundry out to dry on the line, and doing dishes in buckets, the mosquito net is one of them.
