Getting My Hair Cut
I was still tired because I had worked the previous day. I remembered how tiring work can be. I felt that my hair was no longer neat because I had not had a haircut for over two months. The last time I had my hair cut was in Vietnam. I searched for a barber and found the cheapest one called Mancave Barbers. There was an option to choose a junior-level stylist, and the cost was only €20. I made a booking. I visited the barber at 3:40 pm, but it was not open. A man who was standing nearby asked me, “Are you Tomoni?” A few minutes later, the owner came and opened the shop. He is Turkish and Kurdish. He lives in Alkmaar with his girlfriend, and his brother recently moved into his house. He is taking care of his brother. His technique was completely beginner level, and the haircut took a long time. Normally, my haircut takes less than 30 minutes anywhere, but he spent over an hour. Eventually, the result was not so bad. I returned home and took a shower. I went out again to go to a bar even though it was raining. I met the couple Inge and Fred. Fred gave me a snack, a bitterballen. It is delicious every time. I had a tortilla wrap and salami for dinner. I listened to Rakugo via Audible and watched a Japanese comedy video on Youtube. I fell asleep around 9 pm, but I woke up again at 11 pm. I read books for a while.
