"I think this is the best haircut I've ever had!"

Drew's vision was increasingly obstructed by encroaching overgrown bangs. On a whim, Drew, Titus and I stopped to get his hair cut at a newly-opened salon. This dinky salon is located on a backroad we call Mini Corruption Street, which is one of my personal favorite places because it feels so...China. Tiny, dirty shops and street food are packed along a winding uneven concrete walking street. Litter, liquid wastes, weeds, mud, junk and college students mingle through the narrow passage. The owner of the salon, English name Sunshine, decorated his rented stall with his own illustrations and magazine pin-ups. Sunshine enthusiastically chopped Drew's hair while Titus and I played with the other (bored) stylists. It was sweet. The cost? 10yuan -- $1.48 USD for "...the best haircut I've ever had!"
