Hairpy Birthday

Asian girls love to take pictures. Mass generalisation but fairly confident that that statement is 100% accurate. For my birthday, classmates had bought me a cake (pretty emotional) which they lit with candles, sang happy birthday and then took about 15 minutes worth of photos. One even had like a 'machine gun' mode which smashed out like 100 pictures a second. Rapid.

Got a haircut the other day, an experience. Found an 'english' speaking place (apparently), of which the girl ignored most of my instructions of what I wanted, likely due to a lack of comprehension. A 'bouncer' type figure stood behind the whole time, occasionally brushing hair off my face or sticking a sponge on my head when cutting the fringe. That job has got to suck. Another employee decided to come over and watch too. Awkward. Conversation also stagnated quickly when she informed me she hadn't heard of Wales.

Just experienced Chuseok/주석 which is Korean thanksgiving. Flipping heck. Literally, pretty much all they do is eat. Even on any given meal, it is essential to have like between 6 and 10 separate little dishes, but that sum is called to be quadrupled. Probably. (Mild over estimation). Even smashed down a tinny at 10 in the morning, classy. When in Rome.

Had some good subway experiences. One old guy, before leaving the subway, came over to me to have a good stroke on my arm hair for 30 seconds. Another guy slept on my shoulder. This is life.
