Mirror-mirror on the wall , who is the most idiot frog in the world

It is the second night in a row that i'm waking up by a weird noise. It's like someone hitting with his index finger the carton box i'm using as a table. It is one of the carton boxes we are using for transport medical tools or drugs, with a silver shiny surface like a mirror. So, i woke up in the middle of the night by that weird noise, turn on my torch to check what was going on around....and then i saw it. A frog. Yes a frog in my room. Ok...from time to time i've got some very weird also visitors-roomates , like bats, crickets, lizards etc, but never a frog. I don't have any problem with the frogs...but that frog was totally stupid. It was standing in front of the shiny surface of the carton box , apparently it was looking at  itself , and then suddenly was jumping against the mirror box...actually , against itself. And it was doing that at least 50 times. Tell me the truth...can you sleep with a such an idiot noisy frog right next to your ear? At first i thought it was watching its own idol in the mirror as enemy and attack itself but later stopped doing that and it was just staring itself  like an idiot or better like a narcissist (and from time to time it punished itself jumping against the mirror). Maybe it's a magic frog and if someone kiss it will solve the magic spell and it would be transform to a beautiful prince i thought. If the possibilities to be transform to a princess i would kiss it ...but a prince.....what for.!! So , i don't know if it was a prince frog or not .... now it is sleeping out of my room even if it didn't want it....and so i can sleep in peace without idiot frogs around me...but i'm pretty sure...it's going to miss a lot my mirror box. (maybe i'll put a mirror somewhere in the yard for it) . 

Tetanus? Still exists?

Yes. Exists!
We have already forgotten this deadly bacteria.... it is just one more neglected disease. Actually, tetanus means nothing in Europe but here in Africa means ....a lot.
Two kids died the last month by tetanus in "our" hospital. Can you imagine this?
You fall down, hit the ground, get tetanus, then die. So simple.
This is africa.
Yes ....tetanus is still here and stay..... 

.....Raja....... Chanel No55 a real "Eau de Parfum"

38 degrees Celsius (100 F)  in Raja at the begging of the dry season and i'm really thirsty. I'm going straight at the candle filter tank to drink a tone of water. I'm filling up till the end my stainless steel mug and i'm ready for a big big ship to cool me down.....then i smell it. It is new to my nostrils but strong....very strong, brutal and heavy. It is a perfume, a lady perfume and it's all over me. At the begging i thought a lady was passing by so i turn my head but...nothing, no one around. Then i thought it was a side effect of my antimalaria prophylaxis. Nop. With the mug next to my lips i realized that the perfume was coming straight from the mug....or from the water. I threw the water away , i smell the mug and .....it was there. I took another mug...the same. I decided to drink the water.....and yes....the water was like perfume. It was like i drinking straight from the perfume bottle. I drunk it cause i was desperately thirsty..So what.  After half an hour or so, all of a sadden an overflow of the same perfume came again like a strong wave and hit my nose. A lady was passing by.... one of our office cleaner. That was the source of the perfume. She probably had a shower with it. That lady was the reason why the water was like cologne. She was and she is still putting so mach of it and everything she touch is taking and absorb it. Now...everyday our drinking water smells like perfume....i name it Chanel No55....and for sure it is a Eau De Parfum. Cheers!
