Day Four
This day was pretty similar to
yesterday with the likes of having class early in the morning and having our
lunch break. But after our lunch we visited the Centro León Museum in Santiago.
The museum was a basically a pretty well in depth timeline of how the Dominican
people have developed and grew over time with many of their culture influences
coming from African, European, and Spanish ties.
After our day at the museum we went
back to our home-stay and I went with my roommate Sean to watch him get a
haircut from the local barbershop that was around the corner from our home. I
would’ve been a little skeptical about allowing another person cut my hair, but
I always feel that way. Sean needed a haircut bad though.
When we got to the barbershop, we
ran into the language barrier again and the best way we were able to explain to
him how Sean wanted his hair cut was to show him old pictures in his phone and
on the hairstyles poster. I would say the barber’s method of cutting hair was
different but it was good. Sean’s haircut came out really smooth, the barber
got him together. The best thing about the haircut was the price that it was.
The haircut was only 150 pesos, which is equivalent to about 3 American dollars.
So that was a great deal, because the average price for a haircut in the United
States is roughly around 15 dollars depending on what type of haircut you get.
