Don't Pull out my Face Hair...

Ok, so the other day I went to a wedding of a teacher at my school...which I should tell you about that sometime too...but it would have to be another total post. ..but anyways, I'm sitting at the table with a bunch of my classmates enjoying good food and good music. Before I go into this story I need to give you a little background on the people here. If you have hair growing on your face, no matter how long, no matter if you are a guy or a girl...people don't like to pluck it, or get rid of it. My understanding is that if you have this long hair it means that you are wise, or something like that. So, it's not uncommon here to see a man with a mole on his face with super long hairs growing out of it...when I see that I ALWAYS wish that I had scissors, or tweezers, or something! So, back to the wedding...I'm talking to this girl and I go to brush this hair off her face, as I go to do it, she says something, but it doesn't register...but the hair is still there, so I go to brush it off her face again when what she says registers..."Zhang zhe ne" (it's growing) meaning "Stop trying to get rid of that hair because it's growing on my face and I like it"!!!
