Cucaracha

A nasty insect found in every home, in cupboards, bathrooms, and pipes. They are harmless but terrify some people (especially me!), even more so when they fly because you never know where they will land. The best way to kill them is to spray insecticide, close the door, and let them suffocate. Stepping on them is not recommended because the crunching sound is disgusting.

They love being in damp places.

Celular

A small electronic device, they keep getting smaller, with features ranging from texting to running computer programs. I do not even know how far the tech goes anymore since I only have a Nokia 1112. You are cut off from society if you do not have one, everyone has one and even the old ones still work. They are made more fragile now, using weaker materials (long live the Nokia 1100, a basic phone model legendary in Argentina for being indestructible). More and more people use corporate plans that let you talk for free to certain people whenever you want, with a monthly minute limit, though calling and texting are getting more expensive.

Hand me the celular to make a call.
