hair cut

Maybe it is not worth mentioning but I finally got my first haircut in China :-). Why do I mention it anyways? Think it is a nice story.
There is a barber called 'schnittpunkt' near my appartement so it is easy to go there after work. The Chinese guys there speak pretty good english. After getting my head washed for 15 minutes (!) the barber cut my hair for 45 minutes. That is a long time when you consider that I have a rather simple cut. Maybe he just liked talking to me.
His friend is the owner of the shop and also from my hometown Hamburg. The guy who cut my hair is from Seoul, Korea but worked in Sydney, Australia for 12 years. He arrived in China one year ago and speaks Chinese, Korean, Englisch and also Japanese. After this one hour cut I spend 68 Yuan - around 5,50 Euro.
