Q: Are cockroaches in China evolving really fast?

Ten years ago, roaches were big. And you might have had 2 or 3 to deal with in your apartment each week.

 

But in the past few years the big roaches have gone. Everywhere seems to be covered in hundreds of baby roaches. My kitchen in GZ certainly is. As I type this I have one doing a qukasncldhe .rgjc;wi fb dash across my keyboard.

 

Missed the bugger.

 

Serious question.

 

Are roaches becoming smaller but more numerous where you live?

I think your apartment, or somewhere close to it - under the floof or in the walls maybe - is ground zero. The mothership. You see hundreds of little baby roaches but from your apartment they probably spread to other apartments, take up residence there and grow.

 

If you're seeing hundreds of baby roaches pity the poor woman living downstairs from you who is seeing hundreds of big bastards and freaking out every time.

 

Haha, if you didn't get on with your neighbours that would be a nasty low down way to feck with them... breed baby roaches. devil

There must be  some cooking recipe ... somewhere ...

 

Stew with loads of veggie and potato squares comes to my 'hungry  mind'.

 

Don't forget to add chopped melanzane .. and few whole almonds .. to preserve crunchiness ... of the meal ... O2 .. I can't breathe .

 

You have warm weather year around, so stop complaining! There are no roaches in Harbin, but they do -40*C for 6-months of the year.

You should see roaches in S. Fla... They are so big, they 'read' newspapers.

 

Box some Raddichio and make miniature Zoo ... in your kitchen!

It must be your neighbors. You all need to lay some poisen down together and get rid of them once and for all. Been living in my apartment for five years and have never seen one but then again I am a bit of a cleaning fanatic.

I mostly see the baby ones and only a few big ones, because I assume people kill most of them before they grow too big. But I recently saw a big one fly into my apartment through the balcony. Are they finally learning to use their wings??

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
