Haircuts continue to be adventures. This time I decided to try somewhere new. Unfortunately, it was still fairly expensive, but the conversation more than made up for it.
The man who cut my hair is 28, has a two year old son who likes to play his toy taiko, and a one year old girl who likes to dance. He wants to go to America but it is expensive to travel and he has forgotten most of his English. I learned all this from speaking to him in Japanese. We had a great conversation.
Halfway through my haircut he pointed at the "Earth Salon" business card on his mirror. He pointed to the "E" and pulled the comb out of his apron and held it up and said "E." Then he pulled out his scissors and held them open in a cross shape and pointed at the "H." Then he covered the E and H and what was left? The word "art." Out of a comb and a pair of scissors comes art. I thought that was pretty cool. It was one of the most creative uses of the English languages I've ever seen.
Sounds like you had an interesting visit. Did you like the hair cut?
