Haircut for .90 cents!

Since I have been here my hair has become extremely dry and dead so I figured I would go for a haircut! since its only 1 dollar! So I ventured down the street around to a nearby salon and asked for a trim. She didnt speak much English, and I dont speak a word of Nepali, but somehow I managed to get a trim, but giving facial expressions to the length she suggested of cutting off!, an amazing massage while she rubbed in oil to my dry hairs, and eyebrow threading for 30 cents!
I was wondering if I would be walking back with a head full of oil, but she asked if I would like shampoo. Of course I said yes, so there we go. downstairs to an unlit area where they take showers! She brings out a bucket of ice cold water, has me bend my head over and lathers my hair up with shampoo. There I was crouching down with my head bent over, having her wash and rinse my hair like mothers do to their babes!

Since I came at the time of load shedding, there was no electricity for I walked out with a wet head, but I figured it wouldnt matter if my hair was wet anyways since I keep getting bombed with water balloons! For those of you dont know, Sunday is the national holiday, Holi. Its marks the end of winter and is known as the Festival Colors. To celebrate people throw balloons filled with water and paint at people passing by. The children have already begun, and I have been hit about 6 times already with water, its like a war zone! You have to look in all directions and be ready to run for cover so you dont get hit! Im highly advised to stay in on Sunday!
