On cockroaches and my childish reaction to them

If there are cockroaches in your house here, you are either a dirty person, or you live in a dirty area of town. Roach-infested places are often closed down, at least temporarily, and the cockroaches are destroyed. I’ve not seen a cockroach here, something that given my fear of bugs, I am very thankful for.
