THE NUISANCE OF CHOICE (July 30, 2009)

No paradise is spared from a nuisance or two, but the nuisance of choice on Ilovik is the wasp. Wasps wallow in your food. They reel in your drink. They swarm around your mouth and land on your lips every now and then. Aggressive and tireless, they never rest. As nuisances go, wasps are not that bad, though. After a few days on the island, you get to know them well enough to regain your paradise. And to learn a few lessons about paradises of all kinds.
