左拐, 右拐, 直走 (!!)

At the hair salon, i asked for a normal 'detailed' cut. The guy said ok. While he was cutting my hair, he told me about 15 times that this hair cut doesn't look good on me, and that i needed to 'upgrade' to a permanently spiked up hair style. And everytime i said, 'no thanks'. And after everytime i said that, he would say: "oh, oh...好吧" then tell me again 10 seconds later that the hair cut really doesn't look good on me! Which makes no sense since he was the one cutting it. Very funny.

Also, as Abe pointed out within 2 days of travelling in Shanghai, Chinese people are terrible givers of direction. If you ask anybody, where something is, they will point in a direction and say: "那邊" (there), or "左拐" (turn left), OR (!!) points in a general direction and says: "直走" (walk straight) *Max frustration!* and as Abe would say it: *hit head* "pcccchhht". hahaha. Then, if they are stationary, they look down, and if they are pedestrians, they begin walking very fast. Once i asked a walking guy: "Where is the subway station?" And before i finished asking the full question, he said: "不知道" (don't know), and changed angles to avoid me faster. But, when he realized that the subway station was in view (i did not see), he said: "Oh oh, 那邊", and sped off.

A few posts ago, i mentioned about an underground service with an out of tune keyboard. My mistake, i figured out on the second time going there that it was because the keyboardist was playing all the wrong notes! (mmm now that i think of it) ha.ha.ha.

Big flowers or accessories such as plants, butterflies, sparkling things look very pretty in girls' hairs. Don't you agree?
