Well I have had the pleaure of having some friends over for dinner, or should I say they had me for dinner.....

The hostel that I stayed in in Belfast seemed to have a little problem that I did not notice until it was far to late...After my first nights sleep at this hostel, when i showered i noticed two red marks on my back, the were not to itchy, i figured they might be zitz and i did not pay them much mind...well at 4am this past Monday, the day I was suppose to leave Belfast I woke up in a very uncomfortable state, ITCHY AS HELL!!! I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, i was covered from head to toe in bites from something, my face, arms, legs, waistline, just completley covered...i was a regular buffet for these little bastards. I went back to my bed and searched with my lighter to find out what had done this to me and what I found looked like this

BEWARE FOLKS, they can lurk where you don't know, i don't know how to protect yourself from these monsters when you staying in a hostel be just becarefull.

I look like a freak with all these bites on me, i had to hide my face on the plane and have been to 3 doctors since I got home 2 days ago, I am off work and taking 3 different types of drugs for how bad this is. The only thing I have going for me is that it happened on the last day of my trip!!!
