Repeat after Euro-Franz: Don’t fear the fauxhawk. The fauxhawk is your friend.
One thing I will miss about being in Europe: having considerably less social pressure about how I style my hair in the morning. Not that that ever stopped me before….
One thing I will not miss about being in Europe: mandatory smoking. Oh sure, there are “non-smoking sections,” but each one I’ve seen still has ashtrays … right below the non-smoking sign. I’ve suffered through enough secondhand smoke these past five weeks to equal at least one week of firsthand chain-smoking.
