My second chinese haircut

My first haircut wasn't as bad as i thought. When I look back at pictures of my first ever haircut in the PRC, I realize it was a major improvement from the shoulder length hair i had pre-haircut. In fact, i look at those pictures and wonder why in the world i didn't like the haircut. It might of been the best haircut of my life. It was well-shaped, not annoying, and most importantly i wasn't balding then.

And then came Chinese Haircut 2.0

For some reason I trusted that a $3 haircut in China would be good. I mean the Chinese economy is filled with cheap high quality service. Although their manufacturing is reknowned for its flaws, low-skilled service is always of the highest grade. The cheapest restaurants open the door for you, the bakery birthday cakes are artistic masterpieces which would probably run $100 in the US but cost 20 here, and I have my bed made,trash emptied, and floor swept EVERYDAY. Labor is cheap, job competition is high, low-skill service jobs should be of the highest grade.

Thus I got my second chinese haircut and it's frighteningly bad. So bad that on some high fashion level it might be good. Enough said.


The weekend has arrived. I haven't worked out it quite while. I'm tired. Etc.

You have such a beautiful face that you can do anything you want with your hair. It definitely says "high fashion" to me.
