Animals from hell

Just thought I’d tell you about the near death experience I had yesterday which made me realize that there are worse things you can find in your bed here than silverfish and ants.

After a dinner at a sushi restaurant with 5 people from the boarding we returned to school to go to Galileo to have a last night out before everyone started leaving for Sweden. In the break between restaurant and nightclub a couple of girls and I were standing outside bamba (the name of our kitchen) when we herd someone scream. We went to see what it was all about and found out that someone had seen a rat. We all became a bit jumpy, seeing rats everywhere but then suddenly something came running up from behind me and ran past my legs. I first thought it was a really fat cat or a dachshund (but those don’t exist here) but it was the rat.

I’ve seen rats before but none like this one; this was an African sized rat, with a tail about 30 cm long. It was huge, fat and overfed, probably from the Christmas leftovers. It trotted around not to quickly around us, something that size probably doesn’t feel fear. But I did, I screamed and ran and ran and ran. T.I.A
