Sorry if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere else it was so that their country was not 'tainted with Western values' or something like that.
I have seen some Far Eastern people around my town and at my school with obviously treated hair (given that some has been bright orange and others have been severely peroxided) I suppose that it is to make them stand out, but having beautiful, shiny, black hair that is generally poker straight without doing anything makes them stand out anyway!

Many eastern countries have tried to use the "cookie cutter" approach to society. Everyone should look alike, be alike and there will be no problems. There might be some truth to the philosophy, but to tell people to cut their hair because long hair reduces their intellience only shows their lack of intelligence.

Sometimes when I read of comments that longhaired people have got from others, it makes me think whether that is true with western societies as well, only in a subtler form. Government doesn't have to tell us to be like everyone else- fashion industry does that.

I see you've made yourself a ticker, Bikerbraid! Grin

Nice!

Yes, the fashion industry would LOVE to have us all follow their trends. I guess I am a radical - I refuse to follow them - I've always marched to my own drum.

As for the ticker - yes, I am getting anxious to get back out on the road with my bike - I have a LOT of training to do before my 6 day bike trip.
