Preparation for school... Part 1

The summer vacation is nearly over, it's two more days before the school starts. And as usual the parents are more anxious than the kids...hehehe... Time really flies, it has been nearly four months since we first set foot in Khartoum.

As Hadi's hair is getting really long, we need to have it cut before school opens. After asking around, the only viable option would be the barber in Holiday Villa Hotel . It seems that he is quite familiar with cutting Malaysian's hair. Otherwise, we need to find barbers at the odd pavement or corners and they are definitely not familiar with our finer hair texture.

So, last Saturday we went to see the barber. He was very pleasant, and Hadi was subdued enough not to scream...but he did squirm, though... At some point, my husband had to hold his head in place... So, the result? Hehehe... to tell you the truth, I'm not very impressed, he looks like Temenggung Jugah, but at least it's not long. When I asked the barber to cut Hadi's hair on top of his head, he refused saying that it's okay. Now, Hadi's hair is short all around with a bit of long 'turf' on top of his head, quite funny really...

During the 'ordeal'...

Today we went to Souk Arabi to have their trousers shortened. We had to ask Haithem, the driver to accompany my husband to act as a translator. It'll be ready tomorrow morning. We are also going to the school to buy the school uniforms tomorrow...hehehe...We have left it so long that now we're rushing to get everything done on time...
