The China countdown!

Outside the temperature is around 33 degrees and a look at the Hong Kong observatory web site shows the next three days will be hot, hot and hotter. Inside the air con makes it's wonder and we are running around between piles of clothes, trying to figure out what to take and what not. The forecast for Beijing the next days is like here, just a bit hotter and not as humid, about 37 degrees on Friday a website tells me. Where we go after Beijing isn't really decided yet, as what we've thought of could turn out not to be such clever, because in the Yunnan province, they've had very heavy rain and parts is now flooded.
But as we've nothing booked and sorted yet apart from Beijing, we're free and can just do what we feel like on the spot, and that is a great feeling to be able to flow away and just try what ever possibility arises.
One thing is for sure; I have to find a little local hairdresser somewhere and get a haircut. Not that I really need it now, but in two to three weeks I might, and then it is just to find a funny little local one and get it done. I always do that while traveling; getting a haircut or even get shaved. It is a nice thing to do and depending of where you are, you can also have some fun and attract some attention, being a white ghost sitting in the local barber shop.Years ago I was traveling 6 weeks through Egypt, and there it was a big show when I entered a
barber in the bazaar of Cairo. I think the guy was about 80 or so, and he did a good job, it just took very long time with him tripping around me, cutting a bit here and there. If he was 80, the shop could have been as old and the last time the room was cleaned, could have been back in time around him celebrating his 50the birthday. He did though use a new comb, which I appreciated.
Time to dig out some socks.
