A bald baby

The man who live opposite is a barber and today he shaved little Adam’s head. Apparently this is customary for babies when they are four to six weeks old. Everybody had a good time watching and joking but Adam just slept solidly throughout the whole proceedings. As well as watching and taking photos I got the opportunity to have a better look at the barber’s (Duan) house. I knew he was poor but it is just a shell of a house with a dirt floor and almost no furniture except the mandatory TV. He earns his living from cutting hair at about 3o cents a go and making fishing nets. He is a lovely man and often comes over to joke with me although of course I haven’t a clue as to what he is saying.
