Outdated? That's the most effective solution at night.
Anyway, I'm not being able to concentrate on anything.

Bats and racquets are used interchangeably, atleast in Mumbai.

It a lame term freely used countrywide. If you ask for racquet you will be sent to some sports shops for buying badminton or a tennis one.
I use this racquet to killa almost any insect be it spider, cockroach, beetles, flies and whatever unknown comes in my terrotory... In fact this year we killed just 20% mosquitoes but 80% other insects using this bat.. Just fry it baby..

Started packing slowwwwly...will carry absolutely minimal stuff. Our predecessors are kind enough to leave almost everything.
They are leaving 3 years behind with 2 backpacks, we are going in with our 2 ( both can carry a small adult inside them!!) biggest ones.
I'm not even carrying much clothes... planning to go with completely African fashion ( whatever it is) and grow dreadlocks.
Still undecided about audio gear, camera, lenses. Oh! I have decided on an iPhone pro max 12 ( yet to order..as it's still not available for order online from apple.cz) due to the battery life.

Very old article but just came across this:
I'm simply spellbound by your Google skill!! Yes, we knew about it, but thought it to be pre internet era news.
Sadly those are possibly not available anymore.

I was actually searching for mosquito netting window (aluminum) fabrication in my area when this was one of the links!
Poverty and food security: drivers of insecticide-treated mosquito net misuse in Malawi - Malaria Journal
Background Over the past decade, food insecurity, connected to erratic rains and reduced agricultural outputs, has plagued Malawi. Many households are turning to fishing to seek additional sources of income and food. There is anecdotal evidence that insecticide-treated net (ITN) recipients in...
Quote
“There is no future for our children there. We are killing the future of our children since what we are using is catching almost everything. If we left them, our children would have used fishing hooks and be able to catch fish. But, we are depleting all of that.” (Community Leader, Machinga)
Several women from Machinga explained that when ITNs are used for fishing, the small mesh catches everything, including juveniles and fish eggs. This has negative consequences for both the environment and the fish supply. One woman stated,
“It’s true, that way they are destroying the environment, mosquito nets catch all the fish. Big fish lay its eggs on the shores not in deep waters. So when fishing this way all the juvenile fish are captured by the net.”
Another reiterated that fishing with mosquito nets

hello red dragon , good luck with your new adventure. i was reading all your other posts and love to share my thoughts.
regarding mosquito, when i lived in Australia, i was told in aboriginals culture they burn coconut shell and the smoke will repel the mosquito. its easy and healthier than this mosquito coils.
Also for food posion i use activated charcoal powder made from coconut shells. works like magic in 15 - 30 min.

@red dragon - Have no advice to offer you. Your impending trip does remind me of *that* lovely TOTO song - Africa (which I'll now probably listen on loop till it annoys everyone around).
Wish you godspeed. And hope you get to save many more lives/souls.

That's a cool song...good idea... we're kind of tired and sleepy...the goddamn packings...never seem to end...we will be looking like walking talking North Face commercials...while going to Africa!!

When exactly are you going and how much in advance do you start packing?!
@codelad thanks. You managed to get take on me (almost 3 days now) out of my head and Africa into it now. I think there's something seriously wrong with me lol. Btw i don't really listen to music these days. When i say a song is buzzing around in my head i literally mean that. Sometimes the quality is pretty hi-fi too!
Also i hear it as 'i guess it rains down in...' and 'million men on Mars would ever...'
We will be going to Vienna on 17th..from there... possibly within 4/5 days..after the necessary clearances from HQ.
Had to pack early as we will be going to Kosice on 14th to drop the kid with his grandparents, run some errands at Bratislava...
Usually I leave everything for last minute and don't really carry anything except a small backpack within Europe. But thought packing is a better idea than listening to Len's nagging about why should we work in medical schools till we grow old and build a larger home with some more kids instead of my escape plan.

Wow just a few days left then. All the best man.
Thanks mate. Deep inside I'm scared ( it's a very volatile place and basically anything can happen..but the team posted there is possibly the most dependable one WHO has, it's considered one of the most difficult posting in our line of work)
@red dragon Apologies for the diversion.
It's funny, but was totally hooked to Take On Me and Winwood's Higher Love (which to my ears typifies the signature 80s synth sound like no other), not too long ago.
Wish you had one for "... frightened of this thing that I've become." (shudder to hear it, every time).
What diversion? I'm thankful to you for reminding of a great song.
I mean, for continuing to steal attention in your thread. Anyhow, thank you for not minding!
