Haircut


Hey,

Short blog post. I've been dreading getting a haircut here in Choi-na (China for those noobs who can't understand boganish) as i didnt know if they could do western cuts or whatever. But kt and i made an a4 poster today with some photos of me earlier in the trip and caitlin wrote something like - hi there, can u cut my hair like it is in the photos please - in chinese characters.

I went in and they nailed it. I got a full head massage and hair washed. Hair cut. Another head massage and hair wash and then they blow dried it and sorta messed it around a bit. I was impressed. I went to pay them and gave them 100 rmb (bout $18) and the laughed and gave me 90 back. (Therefore my haircut cost 10 rmb or about $1.80!) That's pretty good for the best haircut I've had in a long time.

The only downside was that all the girls in the salon just watched and giggled and stared at me the whole time I was having the haircut...it was a little awkward :S
P.s you probably think it looks like I havn't even had a haircut. This is because we didn't take any photos of me with scraggily long hair. It was pretty crap. LoL. Zaijian!

Hi Paul, on the subject of Australianisms, perhaps you could set as an assignemnt the task of interpreting the phrases: "looked like a pox doctors clerk" and "vanished like a fart in a fan factory" or " busy as a one legged taxi driver in an arse kicking competition". many more available on request.
