here’s to a little morning goo
The roads that lead to Shanghai University’s Baoshan Campus — like most roads in Shanghai — are rugged and rutted, part of the continuous and ubiquitous construction project that is trying to transform the former Paris of the East into the Pearl of the Orient. (I’m not sure what they are building, but I am quite sure that whatever it is will very likely be covered in several layers of neon lighting.)
The bumpy bus ride to Baoshan, which I take three days a week, is like regular Rolfing therapy. For 30 minutes each morning, it’s as though somebody put a quarter in the Earth and made the whole world start vibrating.
