In Japan the insects are bigger and meaner and seem to out number the people. Uta is covered, head to toe, in mosquito bites. The bites are not just benign swellings, that itch for a spell and then disappear, like in New York. These bites grow as big as golf balls beneath the skin and torture their victim for days. Uta got a bite on his brow that swelled so it nearly sealed his eye shut. It is a war we a losing at the moment. Like Uta says, he is ripe, like a juicy peach. The bugs just can't resist him.

Poor guy. Feel better soon, Uta! Maybe if you keep eating lots and lots of Japanese food the bugs will stop seeing you as an American treat.
