Australia last month. I nearly died when he came at me with what I thought was some magic fire act as a post haircut entertainment. Needless to say, there was much ear whacking involved as one of my ears flash fired due to excessive hair. The whole situation has made for great dinner conversation back here in Abilene Texas.

Just wanted to make a correction though: “Lütfen, kulak tüyüm yanan pamukla yanmayın!”, this phrase contains grammatical mistakes. Sure, the barber will get what you mean, but here is how it should be written and some alternatives : "Lütfen, kulak tüylerimi yanan pamukla yakmayın!" (Loot-fan, koo-lock tooy-le-rim-e yon-on pom-ook-la yock-my-in). "Kalsın!" "Leave it off!" "Cul-sn" (pronounce -sn- as in -snore-) "Gerek yok!" "No need!" "Gar-ek yock" (-Gar- as in -Garry-) Needless to say, when you feel intimidated the best strategy is to squall "No, no, no, nonononoooooooooooooooo!!!!!" Good read for turkish voyagers!
