黄山

A follow up on the last post. Went to the hairdresser recently to get a last haircut before going home. Costs only 2 Euros and includes washing (twice - before and after). Pay a little extra and you get an ad-hoc massage at the shoulders. It must be terrible to work in a place like this. My hairdresser from Anhui works 60 hours a week, every day from 10 to 10. His salary is meager, as you can guess.



Another tough job is working on mount huangshan. This is where I went two days ago. A beautiful place, and very famous - the mekka of the Chinese. It is said, every Chinese must ascend this mountain once in his or her lifetime. And if you are too old, to fat or too weak to climb the steep stairs, just rent those carriers who will take you up on a stretcher.
