Here are the sweet kids I taught the other day! Sorry the image is so blurry...
So I don't really have time for a lengthy update at this point. In fact, I am preparing to leave in about 30 min. for Bali!
Long story short: the conference was simply amazing. I met dozens of people from all around the world, and shared so much with them in terms of ideas, experience and knowledge. I also learned some neat origami models, too!
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the conference was the opportunity to teach a group of primary school students, grades 3-5. The kids were tops!! They were so well behaved, intelligent and enthused by my lesson. I also got to teach a class on origami corrugations (to the origami people, not the kids), and it looks like I got a handful of people hooked on pleating paper!
Now I make my way to yet another tropical island... a beautiful, art-filled and mysterious one from what I hear. Bali awaits, so now I must eat my breakfast and call my cab to the airport.
See you in a week!!
