A day or so ago, I managed to get bitten on my left hand on my pinky knuckle, ring finger, and my knuckle on my index finger, as well as under my right arm. I’m not even sure if they were all from mosquitoes, but this reminds me of the first time I was bitten back in Hangzhou and how much more of a reaction I had to bites here than I did back home.

The school included a mosquito net contraption for our beds, and after this incident, I decided to use it. Yes, it’s a ridiculously princessy-looking tent, but I’d prefer not to have my limbs look like this again.
