Salvador - Hair Cut from HELL

I am sorry Just before i forget even though i really want to!
I went for a haircut in Salvador a day before i was leaving for Rio de Janeiro, you know to look fresh before the official start of the carnival etc....  Whilst i was waiting a 90year Old man, who i swear must have been the cleaner came over and ushered me to a chair....He did some damage! Officially the worst barber on the planet!
Luckily for me Noah Roble was there to capture the moment........................


 Meet the Barbour.....He is so good doesn't even need to open his eyes.....



 Kill.Kill.Kill

The final product........ Natuarlly i had to shave it to the skin! 
Thanks to this man, i was then on know as Dhalsim from the legendary computer game Street Fighter!!!!





Brazil - Salvador

Due to the time shortage we needed to fly into Salvador and miss out some of the hot spots to the north of Brazil its a shame really, because you cant have it all; but i guess there´s always next time.....
We stayed in the tourist part of the Ghetto.... the wrong turn could be costly the 1st thing it says about this place is: ´If there's any place you are going to get robbed it is going to be here!`
I was lucky enough not to experience that part. However what i was lucky enough to experience... was an abundance of happy, friendly people, who love to dance & sing the atmosphere coming up to the carnival is just electric! & i would love to spend Carnival here next time....Especially since the Brazilian people themselves prefer it here......
