I went to get a haircut earlier.

I forgot though. THIS IS CHINAAA! It's a hell of an experience getting a haircut here, 'cause you don't just get a haircut.

I walk in, blah blah, ask for a haircut in my best Mandarin ever, with the usual NI DE ZHONG WEN HEN HAO AAA! (Your Chinese is very good!). Thanks, now I want a haircut.

They tell me to lie on some bed thing to which I did, and they wet my hair. Then they sat me down and I had a shampoo, a rinse, a shampoo, another rinse and then ANOTHER shampoo, but the last one was very special.

It was special because during my shampoo'ing the woman was massaging my head and then the most extreme/weird thing in my life happened. She placed both her pinky fingers RIGHT INSIDE my ears to clean them. I don't mean a little poke, I mean, I could feel feel my ear drums vibrating. Man, it hurt so good!

Ok, so I get another rinse, dry, then they sit me down for the actual haircut. I explain the best I can to say what I want, but I couldn't really express it very well, so I just told him what to do step by step. That was finished, and I was happy.

So they decide to wash it again, and then another shampoo with more special treatment. As before, she shampoo'ed my hair but then left it to soak in and start massaging my shoulders and my neck. This was very nice, but then she moved onto my arms...

... she was PUNCHING and beating my arms to hell! She cracked my elbows, my wrists and all of my fingers, massaged me a little more then started beating me up again. Seriously, this sexy slim Chinese lady had power. I wouldn't want to get into a fight with her.

So they rinse my hair, massage my shoulders a little more and I get to the counter to pay.

60RMB! Like, £2! Man, I'm getting a haircut more often! Well, gotta find a job first! :o :p
 
Erm....ok :confused:

Visit any good quality salon in the UK and you'll find they do exactly the same thing. They always massage your head while shampooing and conditioning. Unless you go to some cheap barbers.
Usually costs me like £40 quid though.
£2 IS GOOD!

Ever tried having your ears syringed? One of the weirdest feelings I can remember, but it's great having dead sharp hearing afterwards :D
 
come on guys you got to look at the evidence.

1) Overtone says he "needs to get a job"
2) it only cost £2

therefore it could be concluded that Overtone's roughing it in China making the odd bit of money amusing the locals with poor attempts at Mandarin :) and getting a few laughs. So after many months he's finally gathered enough cash to get the hair cut / upper body wash / massage / ear clean. So he can then return to his life on the streets and now pass himself off as a clean English hobo entertaining the locals.................... untill next month.

.... you know i'm right :p
 
Yes, 60RMB is £4, sorry... more like £3.96 at the current rate, though. :p

Yeh, it's normal, and I know you can get all that in the UK but here, they do it with love!

It's the only way to get a haircut. I mean, you can just get a haircut, that's all and walk out... but all this other stuff comes as standard I think. Well, at least to foreigners.

And I don't like these 'Overtone is a homless bum rumours'... 1,000 years of pain to you! :p
