So REI had this big sale this past week, and since outdorsy stuff is exactly what we need for Cambodia we naturally decided to have a team shopping experience. Apparently mosquitoes proliferate in equatorial climates and so insect repellent was high on my list of things to get. The following exchange took place between a REI employee and myself.
REI guy: You looking for anything in particular?
Me: Yea, I'm wanted to get some insect repellent.
REI guy: Jungle Juice is the way to go. It's got so much DEET that mosquitoes will die before they can land on you.
Me: Cool! (Spying a bottle, I hold it aloft and examine its contents.) So how long will a bottle like this last? If I use it every day?
REI guy: Oh, that'll last you anywhere from two days to four weeks.
Me: ...
At that exact moment another customer accosts him with a question and the conversation ends. I walk away very confused and unable to decide how many bottles of Jungle Juice I should buy. In the end I bought three. Emily doesn't think that's enough. Alain said I could use his if I run out. (=
Thanks for all the help REI guy.

You've changed it like Eric's suggestion...now I must leave a comment on the blog. =)
Jungle Juice sounds yummy! --->Jamba Juice
so, you've resolved to "lure" people to this site now...
hehee, my stomach is sending me signals
If mosquitos in Cambodia are like the ones in Panama, any "repellant" is just a new flavor for them as they bite, gnaw and chew on you.
hahaha, mmmm, so if jungle juice sounds yummy to us, it must be so to the mosquitos too. gluck jonathan and rocio :-P
