                                            Dear friends,
                                            You may recall the war my apartment is having with the bugs in our apartment. Okay, it's not really a war because the situation is not that bad, but we have upped our defenses! We have better weapons now to defeat the vicious bugs that live among us. Mosquitoes, cockroaches, beware! Our apartment now has...a bug zapper!

                                            The bug zapper looks like a tennis racket, but it isn't. The wire mesh generates an electric current that zaps the bugs out of thin air. You press a button that lights up a red light and wave the entire racket around in the air. Even if you don't think the bug zapper is working, do not touch it. One of our apartment mates touched it to see if it works and shocked herself.

                                            The bug zapper is so effective. But, it seems there is only one of us that can use it well:

                                            As you can see, that person...is Billy. So, to celebrate his victories over the mosquitoes, here is a picture of him with our bug zapper =D.

                                            Oh. And the reason why Billy is wearing a face mask is because he's sick and has a cold. He's not trying to make a fashion statement =D. Many people in Taiwan wear masks to prevent germs from spreading to other people--a good idea.
