I have been living in Daegu for almost 3 months. Before I came to Korea, I went for a haircut. I had my haircut to a limit where everyone will say, "Are you in highschool?". Since I have a very boyish face, everyone guesses my age younger than my real age. Anyways, my hair has grown pretty long now. I had an haircut to a limit but my hair is growing pretty fast?! Now, what should I do with my hair?? I have 3 choices. 1. Go cut my hair at a beauty salon in Korea( I must keep in mind that I might have a chance of getting a bad haircut! because I can speak and understand very little Korean) 2.Wait until we go home for the holidays at the end of December, go get an haircut then. 3.Just let it grow. I thought about it for a while.... My decision, I'll just go with choice 2 because I'm just a chicken who just can't stand a bad haircut! But soon after I was thinking of this, my mom and grandma paid me a visit in Korea. They were staying in a hotel in Busan, where Japanese was understood. So I had an idea! "It's only a haircut, if I use a hair salon in the hotel, Japanese would be understood and there would be no trouble at all." But that was all wrong! There were only non Japanese speaking Koreans at the hair salon. I was in a shock for a moment. But before I made my next move, they said to me that they won't cut my hair because they,too didn't want to get in any trouble because of a misunderstanding. So I went back to our room and explained what happened. Then I said to myself, "Well, no choice!" I begged to my mom to cut my hair because I can't cut the back of my hair by myself. How many years has it been since mom cut my hair? She was saying, "I'm not a barber, you know!!" but I was saying to myself, "Please mother, no bad haircut!!" and I was bit scared as she was cutting my hair. Thanks to my mom with good hands, I got a decent haircut that looks o.k. and normal. I'm back to looking like a highschool student, but that'so.k.,because it's alot better than a bad haircut! But I need to find a good hair salon in Daegu, sometime soon!
