When you’re old, all you want to do is stare at the scenery. It’s so strange. I’ve never felt so peaceful before.

Cutting off hair in ancient Asia (Japan, china, Korea & possibly some other Asian cultures) symbolizes being banished or rejected from their home. In the more modern age that is now, cutting long hair into a short cut means to forget the past, leaving the old and starting anew.

In Stockholm, Sweden, a portion of the fines collected from speeding drivers is put into a lottery. Drivers who don’t have any offences are automatically entered in the lottery and have the chance of winning some cash for driving safely. Motorists have received checks of up to $3,000 and the scheme has encouraged road safety. source
