To Thailand
I was very excited. I was going to Thailand! I had lots of fun. The first day was a plane day. It took 1 day to get there. And the funny thing was that the gates kept switching! We were always the last. The second day was the real adventure! First, we went on a tour. We stopped at Starbucks for a bit. Next, we went to many temples. There, we tried some amazing orange juice! I had fun. Well, that's the end of 2 days for now. Please read my next post!

Human Body Adventure
"Kiki, let's go to a place called Human Body Adventure," said my mom. That place is in a city called Tangerang, right outside Jakarta. I went there with my friends, C, O, T and N.
I said that I was going to close my eyes the WHOLE way! (Because I thought it was going to be yucky.) But I was wrong: It was amazing!
It was so fun! The last part was my favorite. I liked it because it seemed like a maze, but all the parts were actually connected! I'll talk about it later.
There were sooo many veins there were actually TWO rooms for them! I didn't expect that! Oh, wait! There are still more...
We actually went back and forth inside because it was really amazing!
Unfortunately, the place was not permanent. They will close soon. So, if you want to go there, better go there NOW! I was really happy I was able to go there.
YAY! What an adventure. I love this place. I hope you enjoyed!

Bedbugs
Scratch... scratch... scratch... In the morning. So itchy! Then when you look at the itchy spot, you see a little pink dot. It is because of a Bedbug.
Bedbugs hide in dark corners during the day ( including your bed, ) and comes out at night to feed on human blood. It injects its victim with saliva that prevents the blood from clotting while it feeds. Afterwards the skin itches terribly.
After a good meal, a Bedbug can survive up to a YEAR without food, but most eat at least once a week.
Here are a few pictures to show you.
Note: These pictures come from Google and my book.

Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes everywhere! Why?
Probably looking for food or laying eggs in wet places.
They are the most dangerous insect in the WORLD!
Did you expect that? Probably not. This is because females can transmit dangerous diseases like malaria, which kills over 3 million people a year. Mosquitoes split their lives between land and water. The female mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of a pond. The eggs hatch, and the wrigglers go. Wrigglers are tiny worm-like larvae. They eat tiny plants and animals. They breath through air tubes at the tips of their tails.
The male mosquitoes eat nectar, while females suck blood, traveling from person to person. That is how people get diseases.
If you see a mosquito in the air, don't kill it. It may be a harmless male.
However, if you see it on you, feel free to give it a hi-five.

Tarantula
I was reading a book and I thought I could share some of the facts with you.
First, I'll talk about tarantulas.
Thought to be a deadly spider, tarantulas are actually harmless. However, if one of its hairs hook into your skin, it can cause allergic reactions and is very painful, so it is best to not disturb it.
Unfortunately, their bite is really painful. They are one of the LARGEST spiders, growing up to 20 cm long. They may also look scary, but they are shy and don't bite people very often. Their prickly hair falls off when touched, and hooks into skin.
I have seen a tarantula before. It was when I went to Korea. At first, I was scared. But that's when I remembered I don't have to be. So, I just moved on.
DID YOU KNOW?
Tarantulas can live up to 30 years!
That's cool! That's pretty old for something so small.
Tarantulas live in burrows, waiting for prey to pass by.
They eat insects, small frogs, small lizards, and may even eat BIRDS
Next time you see a tarantula, slowly walk away and don't be afraid! 😄
