Salon or Barber Shop

Out of convenience and too cheap to pay $30 for a hair cut, I go to a barber shop at the Taiwan Air Force Headquarter compound near home. This barber shop sits right by the PX there. They serve to both military personnel and civilians. I had good cuts from them before but yesterday, I got a dorky straight military hair cut from this lady.
After the New Year holiday, people exercise at the track had increased a bit. I even saw a couple with their personal trainer at the track. The guy was telling the wife/girl friend that they need to commit to fitness, be healthy. I wish them luck. Too many people had good intension at start but did not follow through. While working late, I struggle from time to time to make that commitment.
Here is an irony. Most modern countries had eliminated malaria for many years. There are only few mosquito species that transmit malaria. Their larvae must live in clean, none polluted water. The reason we have eliminated those mosquitoes was because we polluted the water they live in. So, for those countries that still have malaria, don't feel bad. At lease your country still have clean, pristine water sources.
