Lengua e mime

A Lengua e mime is a specific type of handmade dagger or long knife, distinct from a machete, traditionally used by Dominican peasants for both work and self-defense. They are usually around 12 inches long with a very thin blade and a sharp, tapered point. The name is a contraction of lengua de mime (gnat's tongue), comparing the narrow blade to the tongue of a mime (a species of tiny gnat or fruit fly common in the Dominican Republic).

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.
