A day in the life in the North

A perk of Chinese restaurants next to car washes in Malaysia.

And in California they have places called Car Spa's ( Yeah its a California thing). But a few had full on bars and of course those places had 10 TV's showing everything with good food options. Hell you could stay there all day. Price wasn't cheap though. A basic car wash was like $50+ including a modest tip but you include some food and a few drinks while you waited you could be out a "C" note in no time.

Ouch.

I had a haircut at a new barber last night and was a bit put out when he wanted $6... until I remembered it was $6 and last time I went to a barber in Australia I had to pay $60.

Crazy I know. Same in the states. Even those quickie hair cuts places like supercuts, Schroeders etc are pushing $40+. A good barber is $50 to $60. Up here is 80 to 100 baht with a tip (so about $2 to $3) and always includes a hair wash.
