Rest In Peace: Gordo's Hair, March 13, 2007 - June 26, 2007

Yes, it's true, I've cut the famous shaggy curly mess. Why? Partly because it was so cheap. $2! Yes, two whole dollars got me a haircut, a shave, and a face and ear massage. That last part was strange and unexpected, but apparently a normal part of the haircut experience here.

I also got it because I felt I had enough confirmation that my hair would not become fun and entertaining but would instead continue in its pattern of being quasi-curly. Straight hair would have been good, but not what I had.

So I'm back to the short and straight. Very short, in fact. I might have gone shorter, but I was having a hard enough time communicating with the barber as it was.

In other fun news, I got a new North Face computer messenger bag here for $9. What fun!

Yesterday, we also built our first two wheelchairs, visited the Krousar Thmey orphanage for street children (pictured), and taught some more English.
