Haircut.
I got my hair cut in Krakow. Needless to say, my Polish was only sufficient to greet them and ask the price. Beyond that, it was a very passive affair on my part, my gestures sufficient to indicate "cut more", any more detail than that crashing uselessly into the language barrier and falling dead.
The fact that I now have a stupid haircut is never so manifestly clear as when I am wearing a suit.

Do we get to see a photo of the haircut?
Here you go.
How can you tell a good punk haircut from a bad one?
This settles it: punk is in the eye of the beholder.
this post leaves so many more questions unanswered than it answers. Such as, What are you doing in Poland? How is the weather? How often are you wearing suits? How does hair grow? Do you worry about eventually going bald? If it happens, will you wear a hat more often? Do you own a hat? If not, where will you buy fashionable hats so draw notice away from your lack of hair?
The world breathlessly awaits answers...
And a shameless plug to my own foreign haircut story.
Daimon, something tells me that shop in Beijing didn't only offer haircut services. But maybe I am only too ready to see hanky panky where there is only chaos.
"Seeing hanky panky where there is only chaos" would be a good song title. Or a t-shirt Or maybe a soft drink.
Anyway, your questions, thank you for asking:
- In Poland, I was carousing.
- Pretty much like it was in London then.
- Rather frustratingly infrequently, considering that I only wear it for job interviews.
- Hair grows by producing more protein at the root and pushing the old hair out.
- I don't. Actually, deep in my heart, I want a haircut that makes me look like I'm going a little bit bald at the temples, because I think it looks sophisticated. But just imagine how very very stupid that would look when it started growing back in.
- I have this culturally atavistic feeling that it is improper to go outside without a hat, and so wear them so often anyway that I can't really imagine wearing them more often.
- Several, yes, though I always give them all away when I move.
- Marrakesh. Or Saigon. I do like those cone-shaped woven SE Asian hats.
It occurs to me to challenge readers to post comic alternative questions to the above answers.
