It depends on what you mean by ‘sloppy’. Unkempt hair these days can sometimes be seen to look quite good, if you’re careful and know what to do. Perhaps she needs to visit a hair-dresser and ask what she can add-to/take-from the ‘sloppiness’ to make it better than if it were braided all the time, but still have that element of wild hair. And there’s no harm in experimenting at home either. I’m sure there’s plenty that can be done, without resorting to braids.

Whenever I see an elderly Asian person walking with their hands behind their backs, I can’t help but feel some sort of ‘radiant wisdom’ emanating from them… It’s really odd. Anyway on a more physical level, it could simply be because of back problems that emerge later in life. I think Asians tend to grow a lot older than other peoples due to things like diet (soy, tofu) and lifestyle. And because they live longer, more physiological problems tend to surface. Hands behind the back could be acting as a balance of a hunched back; and it is relaxing.

Funny you mention that the modifications look almost as expensive as the car. It might be because we’re oceans apart, but here I find that modifications tend to look less authentic. You don’t find all that many highly polished chrome wheels around, for example, because they simply look fake (and they never, ever match the car, no matter what). In terms of making them *look* fast, or actually *making* them fast (depending on the individuals’ budget), I’m glad I’m not pouring my savings into a financial ‘black-hole’. Besides which, the highest speed limit I know of in this country (besides the Northern Territory) is 110kmph… go figure, not to mention the price of fuel is sky-rocketing to the point of absurdity. The question of ‘just *where* does all the money come from to pay for it all’ suddenly springs to mind.

Like many other people I know, I think there is some etiquette involved with cell phones. Obviously in a cinema I feel it is very, very rude for a phone to ring (when there are explicit notices asking you to please turn them off) or for someone to answer the call even if it is hushed whispers. A restaurant is a different matter, and I don’t find it rude if someone excuses themselves from those they are sitting with, and/or moves away from other people to ask the caller to ring back later, or conduct the conversation quietly. On public transport of any kind or in any public space it is totally up to the person to take their call. If someone does not like it, they have the freedom to move away, and if they choose not to: ‘put up and shut up’. In fact, I would go so far to say that interrupting someone on their cellphone to tell them to be quiet is even MORE rude than the person actually taking the call in the first place. That said, I also think there is a fine line between holding a conversation on the phone and talking VERY loudly or yelling. I think that is probably more ‘inconsiderate of others around him/her’ than explicitly rude. But then of course, it all comes down to what behaviour people think personally is rude or not when it comes to cellphones. If someone has a problem with me answering my phone on my daily train commute, then it’s just that: their problem. (Interestingly enough I have actually experienced the opposite, in that someone on their cellphone on the train shushed me and others for engaging in conversation. Apparently, she couldn’t hear the caller (our talking, coupled with normal train noises) and was sitting directly behind us, but there were plenty of seats throughout the carriage to move to. I found that extremely rude.)
