Haircut

So I have been trying to get a hair cut for almost a week now. The following is a list of events leading to the haircut:

1.First I tried to buzz my hair using matt's buzzer. I walked all the way across the city of Rome. Joel plugged in the buzzer to what he thought was a converter. It wasn't. The 220 v european socket blew the fuse in the buzzer. Matt has no buzzer and they do not sell them anywhere here!

2. Second I tried walking around the city to find a barber shop or hair salon. Apparently, getting a hair cut in italy is a luxury commodity. The cost of a male hair cut in Italy is a standard 40 euro (which is between 55 and 60 dollars). I passed on a haircut that would have bought me like 200 slices worth of pizza. Side note: I found it ironic that the barber was bald.

3. Thirdly, and finally, I volunteered Regina, a girl friend of mine, to cut my hair. It was quite a project. The tools used included a ninja turtle mini comb that one of my roommates owns and a pair of mini hair styling scissors fom the local farmacia (pharmacy). Regina has never cut hair before and I know nothing about hair besides how to shave my face. We were going for a short mohawk but decided that it looked good as a normal hair cut. She did a great job, better than my usual supercuts look! The mowhawk idea is still pending...

I am going to Munich tonight for Oktoberfest. I am excited to see Germany and meet lots of new people.
