Largie's laze-a-bout

Spanning 4 continents. 6 Countries. And 3 months. This Journey is about a bloke, a quick dry towel that's too small, and seeking answers to subject matter that has dogged Australians for some time now. Why was it so important for Emporer Nazi Goreng to keep rabbits out of China? Can an Australian tourist holiday in the Middle East without being mistaken for an American and subsequently kidnapped? Are the French really as rude as everyone says they are? Is it more important to run away from a lion really fast, or just run with someone who is a lot slower? I'll share the answers to all these perplexing questions and more throughout my curious and clueless cultural misadventures.

Botswana: No. 1 Ladies Hair Stylist

BOTSWANA | Tuesday, 3 July 2007 | Views [431] | Comments [1]

Creator of the Botswana renowned "pero-perm" Mma Rotswe waits excitedly once more for a customer. Mma has taken the BBH (Botswana's Best Hair Stylist) award in consecutive years with her unbeatable: Peroxide-Perm, which involves unloading a can of hairspray onto a short-curl perm. It is performed under the watchful eyes of Mma Rotwe's assistant who waits patiently on standby with a fire extinguisher in case Mma Rotswe's cigarette ash ingnites the clients head.

Although Mma Rotswe does not excel in male hairstyling, her assistant Mma Gigi can perform them if required under the strict supervision of Mma Rotswe using battery operated clippers and an upside down margerine container which Mma Gigi places on the clients head and insists it is only used as a guide.

That hair studio seems a little up market.
The margerine container look is so hot right now.
That Derek guy never replied. i was hoping for a hook line and sinker and a shreik of "back 'er up skip".
