Chinese Hair Cut...
I hadn't had my hair cut in over two months, so it was about time. I put off the inevitable for a few weeks and asked around to find a decent place to get my hair cut. Somewhere they wouldn't just put a bowl on my head and cut. A Chinese friend recommended me a good place, along a street that several other people had mentioned.
A quick rinse was followed by a lot of snipping and hair falling everywhere. It looked like a normal cut, and the girl rinsed my hair out after. The lady at the desk charged me 20Yuan ($3.00), which I'm sure is the foreigner rate because I know that students get a cut for 5-8Yuan, and a normal cut is 10-15Yuan. Even a Chinese friend said that I probably got charged the foreigner price. I should have negotiated before hand. Live and learn.
But today the hair isn't falling right. I've got wings, the back is too long, and my sideburns are uneven -all of which I've tried to fix slightly. Now I know why two of the 15 male foreigners have just shaved their heads. As one of them said, "they just don't know how to cut hair that's a bit curly or wavy". Maybe I'll just let my hair grow long this year?

go for it!
or you could just shave your head!
Which is the better option?
Too much hair, or not enough?
I think the long hair will help to keep you warm during the upcoming winter months.
The long hair approach over the next year would make for some great photos. I vote for that!!! Ben
long hair and a beard? we wouldn't recognize you, but it would make for great pics. Every student should go through a hippy phase.
It seems that the long hair wins!
