Hair and Chinese

Hair

The Mandarin word for hair sounds like 'too far'. So it was an easy line to give to the waiter, Al Dente. It should help you remember the word for 'hair', anyway. We are in an Italian restaurant, and the waiter is Italian. I put a grape theme along the lower wall to help with the Italian theme. Whenever I think of Italy, grapes come to mind. Olives too, of course.

Chinese

From what I have heard, Chinese haircuts are quite cheap. I'm sure almost every Chinese hairdresser listens to and follows the wishes of their customer. Chip's hairdresser doesn't appear to have listened.

The first Chinese character in the word 'Chinese' is easy to recognise. Pretty sure it means mid or middle. It is part of the word China, which literally means 'middle kingdom' - central to the rest of the world.
