Fatty Teaching Tuesday

First, the Fatty -
This past weekend we went on a wild "chicken and waffles" chase for City Weekend in an attempt to find the top three in Shanghai. Yes, Shanghai has chicken and waffles, and yes (shockingly!) there's more than one restaurant that serves the popular brunch dish. In fact, we found five! Stay tuned to find out which ones won the top spots. If you're ever in Shanghai... and feel like chicken and waffles...

Now on to the Teaching -
The kids' lesson today: toys! Dolls and trains and games and airplanes. Mine: I learned that there's a mandatory five-minute self-massage session in the middle of the afternoon. The kids are supposed to sit quietly as they massage their eye sockets. It's kind of fun to watch; they look like little executives contemplating their next acquisition. Apparently, the practice is in line with traditional Chinese medicine and is supposed to calm the children down. I'm not sure it does that (there were multiple ruler incidents this afternoon), but I appreciate the tradition, certainly.
