Some guy broke into my apartment last night. As far as break-ins go, this one wasn't so bad. He focused most of his attention on making an inappropriate display of himself (use your imagination), but was able to make off with my digital camera, mp3 player and lighter. In the immediate aftermath, I was most upset about the lighter, because I could have really used a cigarette after that experience. At the moment, I'm a little more upset about the other two objects.
My primary self-defense tactics included screaming expletives and throwing a mug at him. In retrospect, my efforts would probably have been more effective if I had picked up the "highly toxic" bug spray that was sitting next to the mug, and sprayed it at his face. Or at other parts of his body. I'm awesome at thinking on my feet. In any case, travel is all about learning from new experiences. Next time I'm going straight for the bug spray, $&*%#$&!
