when you come to Africa, you come ready (or should do) to find all sorts of animals in different shapes and sizes, and to cohabit with them to a degree
i am not a particularly animal friendly person, being a natural urbanite, but i believe in respecting their space, as much as them respecting mine (tho i understand the limitations to my approach)
i don't kill insects unless i have to (i know, debatable for animal rights groups, jains in India etc) and that is generally when they are bad for one's health, i.e. mosquitoes, in particular in malaria infected places (fair enough no?); the rest are gently broomed out from my house, with the sole exception of geckos
but they also say that Africa has the power to change you, i just thought i was going to take slightly longer; i have just been talking to a lizard, kindly requesting him or her to leave my office..... in Spanish.... what next?
