When it was time for my next haircut I asked Vlado to make some pictures of this great event.
My Azeri haircutter has his small business in the corner of a tailor's repair shop.
The tailors – all over the pension age – seems to enjoy their work and having a nice time together, and the shop seems to be a meeting place for the neighbourhood (at least the old part of it).
The equipment used by the hairdresser seems to be from a far communist past (as the machines used by the old tailors). Vlado told me that his grandma had the same type of transformer as shown on the photo.
The nice streamer with the portrait of Lenin is a reward for being the best collective in Tbilisi. Dust was removed before we were allowed to take a photo.
I the shop Georgians, Armenians and Azeri are working. In a period with ethnic cleansing such a small pocket of mutual understanding and cooperation makes you fells that there is a future for mankind after all.
