Maahey, I know what you mean about "las cucarachas". The first time I saw one, that was very much my own reaction, but after living in Mexico for ten years, I became rather blasé about them. Fortunately, living in Michigan again, I haven't had occasion for any more Great Cockroach Massacres. Not to say that they don't live in Michigan, they do, but they are not as all pervasive here as they were in Mexico.
