I’m going to preface this by saying how much I actually HATE and despise bugs, snakes, spiders, bats etc…<\/p>\n

If you know me very well, you know this about me and it has actually created a little anxiety in my being to think sometimes that I am not so very far away from all of these when we go to the jungle. \u00a0This was never more real to me and a great reminder as it was this week DURING our workshop…<\/p>\n

The first part of the workshop went well. \u00a0At 10:30 AM like every week, we took a quick break for a snack. \u00a0During this break, someone came and fumigated the hut where we were and the surrounding areas. \u00a0I didn’t think much of this since I see people fumigating here all the time. \u00a0When it was time to start again, the director asked me if we wanted to wait a little longer? \u00a0He went in and checked for ‘fumes’ and thought it was OK, so I said OK!<\/p>\n

After about 10 minutes or so of teaching…<\/p>\n

COCKROACHES started coming out of every part of the hut! \u00a0The walls, the ceilings etc…One fell on me and then another…NOW remember, for the average person in Ecuador, this is not that big of a deal, a little inconvenient, but not a big deal. \u00a0It is for someone who doesn’t like bugs! \u00a0LIKE ME! \u00a0I think the students got a kick out of me dancing AROUND the roaches, flicking them of a letting out little screams…at least they saw the real me I suppose-a frady cat when it comes to bugs!<\/p>\n

To top the whole cultural experience off, after a few minutes of the roaches coming from everywhere, the chickens that live in the village where we are teaching, all came into the hut and started eating the roaches-a fine meal I guess!<\/p>\n

Chalk one up to being forced to deal with your fears in front of 50 teenagers! \u00a0I didn’t deal with it very well, but at least we got through it! \u00a0Definitely\u00a0a workshop to remember…<\/p>\n

P.S. \u00a0The roaches here are not like the ones in the States. \u00a0They are BIG! \u00a0Not like the size of a plate big, but big nonetheless!<\/p>\n
