Rena - I hate mosquitoes, not even very long socks may shield them from those blood sucking little monsters. Maybe wearing those special UV sun gloves may block them out!
Ossy 9:56:58 PM
And very familiar with native African music!
rena (host) 10:07:38 PM
yes they bit me through my clothes! it was insane 😰
rena (host) 10:08:04 PM

Ossy 10:18:50 PM
Especially Nigerian ones and they did bite through my very long socks!!!! 😭😭😭. They're so mean!
rena (host) 10:26:35 PM
they are merciless for sure
Ossy 10:27:33 PM

rena (host) 10:31:13 PM

Ossy 10:37:45 PM
