The other day when I bought my camera, I also picked up a low-cost beard trimmer that I was hoping would work to cut my hair myself--in order to save money. Well, this morning I cut my hair... and realized just how narrow a cutting width of 22 mm is (an inch is 25.4 mm). It took me about forty-five minutes before I realized I just couldn't finish it all on my own and called Marion for help. She came over and finished it up for me... although I may still be wearing hats more often now!
And speaking of needing to wear hats, I just saw on BBC News that the high temperature today in Berlin is 11º C (51º F) with a low of 0º C (32º F)! That's cold!!
But now I'm off to try to find a cheap and, hopefully, used camping backpack to use on my fall break trip and other trips this semester. I learned during the excursion to Wien that using a duffel bag is a pain when you have to walk many kilometers to get to train stations, a hostel, etc. Hopefully I can find something good in the many Flohmarkts (flea markets) of Berlin.

That's certainly one way to save money! I'm sure you can't expect to pay Camillo's prices over there for a haircut. Incidentally, just how much is a haircut in Berlin?
I've seen them advertised for as little as 5€ on certain days--with other places being between 10-20€. It's not that it's too expensive... there's also that incredible language barrier!
