I totally agree. The first time I had henna done in Morocco she used
a syringe and was lightning quick with it. And all the while she's
chatting with the other women in the room, yelling at her kids,
greeting newcomers, order around someone to get the charcoal
brazier. I just sat there mute and amazed by how fast and accurate
she was and how well she could multitask. Now that I have tried the
syringe I am even more amazed.
