The best cultural experience

... the one way to immerse yourself and try to accomplish something, something so easy back home but difficult in another language... something so trivial and frightening and exhilarating - IS - getting a haircut in another country!

It's tough. To give someone else your trust and see the outcome. For my own hair - not too bad because I know my hair. But I was helping my friend Asia with her hair, and the hairstylists were explaining to me how they couldn't do the hairstyle she wanted because her hair was too thin or something... anyways - they used for different words and I still did not understand "It's too__ (huh?), It's too___ (uhhh), it's too___ (right...), ah, it's too___ (nope -still mind blank)." - in the end, you just end up laughing your head off.

P.s. it all turned out great! Just try it! Why not? Hair grows back back anyway!

Next step? dying my hair? MAYBE - they said I could streak my hair to look like asia's - I want my hair streaked, but I'm not sure if they meant make me blond like her - ya, that's okay... "next time."
