Aventuri prin Asia la sfarsit de an

Ho, ho, ho!

Asa, ca sa am o introducere in Spiritul Craciunului care se apropie cu pasi foarte repezi…

Craciun care va fi anul acesta unul cu totul diferit: 30 de grade afara , soare, nici pomeneala de brazi sau de zapada, pana acuma nu am vazut nici un mos Craciun cu barba si haine rosii cum sunt pe la noi (pe aici au tot felu de zane si alte minuni )
…singurul lucru care imi aduce in suflet spiritul de sarbatoare sunt colindele care rasuna pe strada si in magazine!

Getting a haircut in Singapore…

Just another mundane thing- you may say…but well, NOT quite!

I went to Japanese Barber Shop- a franchise one ;) - first time I heard they even have franchises for Barber Shops!! And the thing they used as main marketing material: 10 minute haircut!! (it was added a bit smaller :More or less! :) )

Anyway…what struck me from the moment I got inside was how clean they are: all the scissors are put in a machine that sterilizes them, they wear some sort of mask on the face…they weren’t wearing gloves, but they had all the rest for a surgeon!

I even had a TV to look at!

And the coolest thing of all was in the end…when she finished…of course they had something to remove the hair that had fallen on my neck and cheek…a Vacuum cleaner!! I have never seen such a thing.

damn effective…I left without any drop of hair…no need to take a shower!

And on my way back home i was thinking how this would have gone in Romania: a barber with the same scissors that he used one year ago…sneezing on my head…etc, etc.

Oh well, let the HAIR GROW back! And us grow wiser!
