The Vietnamese Haircut!

The night before leaving for Laos, Trang took Kely & I to get my hair chopped off in Hue. There was a slew of hunky Vietnamese men learning to cut hair, most of whom lined up behind my chair to learn how to cut non-Asian hair - it was a literal teaching seminar. He cut off about 8 inches of hair, I think, which feels fabulous! See the progression of the haircut - and the chorus line of protegees - below.

This little munchkin was having his hair cut right behind me, but another tank-topped Vietnamese hottie - and his brown eyes kept flooding with tears. Really adorable.

The finished product! All for $2.50! It looks better now that I do it myself - more low mantenance, 'I just took a bus across a border with 43 Vietnamese and 16 live animals' traveler and less bowl shape...
