When you don’t speak the language, simple tasks like getting a phone or mailing a letter can be complex. At lunch the other day, teachers were talking about what they needed to accomplish: buying and hanging curtains, buying a train ticket… One teacher said: “I have to figure out how to get a gym membership today. Wish me luck.” So, Ryan’s haircut today was a major accomplishment for us. 🙂
Wow, good job! I can only imagine how daunting that would be.
I don’t know if they do this in Korea, but in China they save all the hair and sell it. It gets woven into mats for agriculture–they keep the weeds down, and as the hair breaks down it releases nutrients into the soil. I always feel bad about throwing my hair away, but apparently blonde hair is pretty useless because it has very few nutrients. That’s probably the real reason people make blonde jokes.
hmmm, I never knew that about blonde hair.
I wonder how Ryan’s new hair style turned out???
