Madurai never sleeps.
We arrived at 8pm, found a reasonably priced hotel by 8:30 and found a place to eat at 9:30 - not the best place ever, but we thought we would run out of choices if we don't order fast. After dinner we walked around to get a lay of the land and saw that some tea stalls and restaurants were still buzzing with activity.
We passed by a barber shop and asked how much they charge, but the barber insisted that Henri get his haircut tout suite. Henri said, "but it's late! I'll do it tomorrow!" But they barber was just so darn insistent and we had nothing better to do, in fact it would save us some time the next day so Henri gave in. It was so cool because they specialize in "bear carving," among others...
What was strange was they had a sign that said they absolutely will not "shave armpits." Honestly, who goes to the barber to have their pits shaved? How lazy are you?
