General life

Hey! So here i will just write about daily life 😊

I´m here since almost a week now. And I can say: I really like it here. Yes, it is very warm, yes, it is very humid. But it doesn´t seem to bother me, so I´m fine ? Whenever I leave the house, the estimated walk time at least doubles, because I see so many things. Let that be strange “foam blobs” in puddles (apparently tungara frog nests), female dragonflies laying their eggs in water (looks really funny), or red-lored amazons (parrots) at dusk and dawn which keep you from sleeping or wake you up, respectively.
Yesterday, I went to STRI Headquarters (Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute) for a really nice talk about Tungara frogs. I met some very interesting people.
Today, we had a special guest in our house: a flying furball named “bat” found its way in – but not out again. So, we opened all the windows to let it out – and paid dearly with mosquitos in the house… anyway, the bat is safe, the mosquitos got their human body fluids, everyone was happy.

Visiting an artificial pond in the night with my two flatmates. Although they put the water away (apparently for cleaning reasons), I saw some cute little red-eyed tree frogs and a astonishing tree-snake (it was quite small, but still amazing). After a long way home by foot, I realised, that it´s quite tedious to be in dense vegetation in this climate…

Starting with an easy morning with a great book a great friend lent me 😊
In the evening I was at the bat-night in front of the STRI (Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute) in Gamboa. I heard an interesting talk about bats in general. Many “none-science” people came as well, which made me happy. It´s always nice to teach “common folk” that bats aren´t something you need to be afraid of – and they are NOT BLIND (seriously guys, they see quite well).
