I\'ve enjoyed your entire posting on working in a barbershop and am now devouring (not literally) your section on Food and Drink in China. In India, the hours are pretty much the same, but the barbers are one-man shows, handling the cutting, washing, massaging; there isn\'t a hierarchy in the male barber shops, although there is one in the ladies salons here. The rates are also comparable. I like the idea of a wash before and after the haircut. It would be nice to see something like that here in India. Great blog posting.

I think most of the shots of me were done by him. I took the headshot myself by using a mirror to look into the display window of my camera. Lily –

Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying it all; very astute, funny, and, hell yes, dare I say informative as well. I've been here almost 4 years (mostly Shenzhen, Hong Kong) but it's making me wish I had the brain cells and patience left to learn Chinese and plunge in as you have. (I have to admit the baijiu 'n' ketamine breakfasts probably don't help either...) Anyway, keep on keeping on...it's a pleasure to read you.
