when i was little i went to dominican republic for the first time and i was scared of everything...... i spent the night at my uncles house , but i had trouble sleeping , so to make me feel better my uncle told me that everything was fine , but to sleep with my mouth closed because roaches would crawl into peoples mouths often there. needless to say , i was up all night long , and i still beleived it at 12 years old :)
