It costs exactly €23 to look this good


Just as the sun rises and sets, I knew this day would come. It was inevitable. Yes, that's right folks; It was time for a haircut!
I've had this irrational fear since before I arrived of going to get my hair cut and coming out bald. I'm in no way a style freak or anything but obviously didn't want to come out looking stupid after asking for the the wrong grade with the clippers.
Actually this was quite close as I normally have a grade 3 but that's a 12 over here.
As you can see it didn't turn out too bad but as I just went to the busiest of the 2 places nearby (if its busy, it can't be bad) I ended up paying about twice as much as in the UK and they insist on washing your hair (not a bad thing I guess, just a bit pointless). And before you make any remarks about going to a women's hairdressers, there were 2 other guys there (and one of them had a kid so no remarks about them driving a Micra!).
You see the trouble's of living abroad? I think I'll try and find a barber's like at home next time.

The company has a DVD library and I was recommended a film called "La Grande Vadrouille" as it's a typical French film. It's a comedy about some British airmen who get shot down over Paris and then some French people help them get to unoccupied France. It's very funny and easy to follow so if anyone else on their year abroad is reading this then I recommend you watch it.

That's all for now.
