(On the street)<\/p>\n

Dominic: If you’re going to spend a significant amount of time in another country there comes a point when you have to bite the bullet and experiment with local barbers. <\/span>
 
One of the most interesting haircut experiences you can have here in China is going to street barbers. These guys work here outside exposed to the elements and can charge a really cheap price because they don’t have the overheads of running a shop. In fact, they don’t have any overheads. [Quick joke: Dominic looks up, indicating there is no roof.] Let’s go to find out exactly how much.<\/p>\n

Dominic: \u5e08\u5085\uff0c\u4f60\u597d\u3002
Street barber: \u4f60\u597d\u3002
Dominic: \u8bf7\u95ee\uff0c\u7406\u53d1\u591a\u5c11\u94b1\uff1f
Street barber: \u7406\u53d1\u4e94\u5757\u94b1\u3002
Dominic: 5 yuan! That’s less than a dollar. But how much for a shave? \u522e\u8138\u591a\u5c11\u94b1\uff1f
Street barber: \u522e\u8138\u4e09\u5757\u3002
Dominic: 3 yuan! That’s too good to turn down. \u73b0\u5728\u53ef\u4ee5\u522e\u8138\u5417\uff1f
Street barber: \u53ef\u4ee5\uff0c\u60a8\u8bf7\u5750\u3002
Dominic: \u597d\u7684\u3002<\/p>\n

(Dominic gets a shave.)<\/p>\n

Dominic: Ah, cold! \u771f\u51b7\uff01
Street barber: \u597d\u4e86\u3002
Dominic: \u8c22\u8c22\uff01Ah, that feels great. Amazing how a good shave can make you feel better.<\/p>\n

(Location moves to different street.)<\/p>\n

Dominic: But the street barbers are not wher most Chinese guys go to get their haircut. Next I want to show you what a normal barbers looks like in China.<\/p>\n

(Dominic beside a barbershop sign)<\/p>\n

Dominic: Spotting a barber’s in China is very easy. Simply look for the internatio<\/em>nally recognized sign outside the shop. In most of these places, an appointment is not necessary, so we can just walk straight in.<\/p>\n

Dominic: \u4f60\u597d\u3002 <\/span>
Receptionist: \u4f60\u597d\u3002<\/p>\n

Dominic: o<\/em>nce inside you need to explain what you want. This is easy, \u6211\u60f3\u7406\u53d1\u3002<\/p>\n

GRAPHIC FLASH: \u6211\u60f3\u7406\u53d1\u3002\u6211\u60f3 means I want, \u7406\u53d1 haircut, the third tone and the fourth tone, \u6211\u60f3\u7406\u53d1\u3002I want a haircut.<\/p>\n

Dominic: Let’s ask how much it costs. \u6211\u60f3\u7406\u53d1\u3002\u8bf7\u95ee\u591a\u5c11\u94b1\uff1f
Receptionist: \u6d17\u526a\u5439\u4e94\u5341\u5757\u3002<\/p>\n

Dominic: \u6d17\u526a\u5439 means wash, cut and blow dry. She said this costs 50 yuan. That’s translated to a<\/em>bout 5 euros or 7 dollars. But how much for just a cut? \u8bf7\u95ee\u53ea\u526a\u591a\u5c11\u94b1\uff1f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
