So forgot to mention that on the way to those tunnels yesterday we stopped by a handicrafts factory which was also pretty cool..they make really nice lacquered plaques using egg shells and mother of pearl to make out the picture, outlines and colours...very good!!
So today I decided to get the aul hair cut and my god was it an experience..none of this in, out and that will be 40 Euro stuff! It took about 45 minutes in total and all I was getting was a trim and I was the only person in the salon...
So first they bring you over to this massage like table which leans over a normal hairdressers basin for washing your hair. She wets it and puts in Shampoo and for the next 10 minutes proceeds to massage my scalp, drag her nails (really long like a witch) through my hair and on my scalp. She then rinses and does the whole thing again except it actually hurt this time cause she was seriously scratching those nails along my head!! She then give me her idea of a face massage which was basically holding the shower hose 2 inches from my face. I never really understood about Chinese water torture until now...for about a minute the shower hose is in my face. Then she puts some sort of foam on my face, scratches my face with those nails again...then the shower hose is back in my face again...eyes killing me at this stage as is head!! After that she decides my hair needs conditioner so we are back with the scratching....Eventually after about 40 minutes I'm ready for the haircut!!!! which takes all of 5 minutes!!! Interesting!! And all for only $6!!! Do you think I should suggest this to Peter Mark when I get back!!
