Davud Akhundzada paid and added more money for the barber. When they counted the money, they realised Davud Akhundzada had given the barber GH¢1200.

The Azerbaijani tourist said the barber should use the money to upgrade his barbering space.

The barbering space was an open one under a tree with no mirror for customers to see their faces. The chair was a wooden one, and everything he used for the haircut was in a small bag hung on a tree. He did not seem to have any electronic haircut equipment.

The barber expressed his gratitude to the tourist. He immediately gave some of the money to another man who was seated close to him.
