Living in a tropical climate definitely has its perks. And Bangalore has pretty much year round the perfect weather. Sure it does get hot in the summer, and sure we do get rains during the monsoon, but most of the time there isn't much to complain about.
When we moved here there was only one thing I wasn't really looking forward to and that was all the bugs. I'm not a big insect lover and I knew from previous trips to the tropics that bugs are part of life here. I absolutely hate cockroaches and as a close second I'm not fond of spiders either.
Imagine my relief when I tell you that in the 15 months we have lived in our house here in Whitefield I have only seen 2 BIG cockroaches inside, maybe 3 or 4 tiny ones and only small spiders. We do get the occasional lizard, but those I don't mind too much.
But it is very obvious that my mind still expects the worst even though experience has taught me differently. This morning I saw something move in the corner of my eye, brownish about a cm of 5 (2 inch) long... A small scream escaped me before I realized it was just a small lizard... which was shown out the door very swiftly by my dear husband.
