life the universe and everything origami swami stories un folding storybook older posts analog blog china 2019 shanghai posted on march 26 2019 by megan hicks last night in china tomorrow afternoon my plane leaves pudong international airport at 5 00 pm i arrive at o hare tomorrow afternoon at 5 25 pm time zones if only it felt like 25 minutes to my body we ended the tour today on a sweet strong note shanghai united international school is sonia s home turf she taught here for about five years and she brings tellers here every six months i feel as though i m in the middle of what my mom calls old home week so there s the comfort of vicarious familiarity plus the excitement of telling and teaching kids who come into the experience wide open and receptive for the third graders i didn t have to pull any punches linguistically i talked a little slower than usual but that was it for the fourth graders it was mostly origami instruction with folding sequences embedded in simple stories i would tell demonstrate the story fold one time teachers passed out origami paper 75 kids got straight to folding with no further instruction many of them spontaneously huddled together to remember the folding sequences collectively and when they saw the potential in sonobe units well they saw the potential in sonobe units which i describe as origami legos and the fifth graders didn t bat an eyelash at the vocabulary i threw at them or at the big questions posed by the stories we chose for them the q a after the stories told me they had listened deeply have i mentioned that i love this work i

kunshan to shanghai posted on march 22 2019 by megan hicks this is the home stretch two more days of work i am fighting a cold with chinese herbs suggested by one of the school nurses tablets that burn a hole under your tongue while they open the passages that let you breathe which i find to be a perfectly reasonable trade off and little black pills that come more egregiously overpackaged than even us pharmaceuticals and they seem to be working gradually with absolutely no side effects we re doing an express courier thing to get me some real merican dayquil to alleviate symptoms on monday and tuesday when i will be out and on and phlegm would only serve as a distraction and i will have nyquil for the long plane ride home drugs the head of the school in kunshan is canadian it s canadian international school of kunshan after all and she gave me a couple of buckley s cough drops good old buckley s if you ever have to power through a performance with a sore throat and if you can stand to hold something in your mouth that tastes like what turpentine smells like suck on a buckley s well here s the analog part of this little series i see i have more readers than i can count on the fingers of one hand and enough fingers on both hands to count you all thanks for traveling with me i know i am kept in your company even if i don t know who you are except obviously jack i love you
