I just had my hair hacked at by a drunken hairstylist. It's all good though since I spent a grand total of 2 dollars for a wash and cut, and then drank my money back and more with her friends inside the salon for the remainder of the evening.

Also, for the first time in Asia, I've been given a compliment that doesn't have to do with my eyes, face, or height. I have been told I'm smart on several occasions today... I think they might have just been humoring me since the conversations went something like this:

"Hello."
"Hi."
"My name is Bang."
"Hi, you can call me Alex."
"Ohhh, my friend tells me you are smart."
"Who's your friend?"
[no answer]
"Ok, well, nice to meet you. And if you friend thinks I am smart, then maybe you should wear a helmet when you ride that motorcycle."
"See you!"
