The One With The Haircut (finally!)

I haven't had a haircut for more than a year. It's a new personal record and I think that should hold for a while. I'm not intending to leave my hair long for another year. This is a big deal. This is actually the first time I went for a haircut. I'm serious. All this while, my mum cuts my hair. Never in my life had anyone cut my hair besides her. This time, I had an English haircut. The hairstylist was pretty hot too. Haha. Anyway, here are some pictures of my hair during my year in the UK. I know it's kinda weird putting so many pictures of myself so just focus on the hair.

...when I first arrived...

...roughly 3 months after I arrived...

...6 months...

....9 months...

...kinda looks like I have a mane huh?

...this was taken 2 days ago...

...and finally...

yeah, I guess I'm back to step 1

It's been a while since I actually felt wind on my neck. Hahaha. So basically this is what happened. First, the lady took my hair away. Then she charged me £7 pounds for it! This is wrong. I should be charging her for the hair! Damn Delilah...

The One With The New Mall, St Stephen's

St Stephen's is the biggest, most ambitious city centre redevelopment in Hull. They have been constructing it since I came here and finally, it's done. Apparently it is the 2nd largest city centre development in the UK (and it's in Hull!!). It is around 40 acres in the heart of Hull (heck, I don't even know how big an acre is). It incorporates an £18m state-of-the-art transport interchange built to a concept design by acclaimed architects, Wilkinson Eyre which will coordinate bus, coach and rail travel with access to taxis, delivering some 24,000 people to St Stephens’ door each day. St Stephen's will create 2,500 new permanent jobs and 400 temporary jobs during construction (keep in mind I'm still unemployed) and the total cost is a whooping £160m!

cool Starbucks

There were so many people at St Stephen's and it was like 1 o'clock in the afternoon. What the hell? Don't these people have work to do or places to go?
