Live at the Rose Bowl: Groundhog Day at the Teach First Impact Conference 2015
Teaching the Tough Young Teachers
by Tom Bennett
Once a year every Teach Firster in the kingdom returns, like salmon, to Leeds for their annual seance/conference, doubling the city's demand for clean wifi and live sacrifices in the process. Imagine if the Scientologists ran Grange Hill. A terracotta army of beautiful, ambitious men and women swarm from training session to session, hungry, enthusiastic, by demons driven. These children of the Nephilim must be fed, and 4000 engines of enthusiasm and optimism take a lot of feeding. I was asked to bring fresh brains, so I brought what I had left.
I was asked to co-present a session with Becky Allen on research, as well as lead one on behaviour; although some Jasper in events thought it would be jokes for "one session" to mean "three of them in a row". If you teach a Groundhog Day like that in school, you know that can be a boon (by the end your delivery is as tight as Lord Sewel's bra strap) or a boot in the saddle (there's only so long you can sprint before you start to forget what you said). Still, they built it, I came.
I've been asked to look into disruption in lessons by Nicky Morgan, with a view to making some recommendations specifically about teacher training. But something I am very often asked is how effective the individual teacher can be if the school system is weak. I think that the school culture, the way that it systematically responds to, and anticipates pupil behaviour, is crucial to the behavioural climate of a school. We're fond of using medical analogies, so consider this: a hospital could be staffed entirely by amazing doctors and porters, etc, but if the management is weak, people still die like flies because no one ordered bandages or booked a theatre. Same with schools. You can be a fantastic teacher, with great classroom skills, but if the school itself is chaos, you'll only ever be able to succeed despite the school, rather than because of it.
What do I mean? A school where nothing is ever escalated; where senior staff aren't visible; where the headteacher doesn't drive a clear vision of the culture they expect; where teachers all use different standards, different consequences, different expectations; where children can create their own rules in public areas in the absence of any community ones. That kind of school. Even if you're Doug Lemov combined with Mr Bronson, armed with a battle-axe and a laser, you'll only ever – at the most – be able to run your own patch with any routine, like a warlord or a chieftain in a failed state. And success is so, so much harder.
The culture of the school is vital; if it's poor, and expectations are low, loose or irresponsible, kids learn bad habits, not good, and every lesson is an exercise in unpicking that pattern and hand-stitching a better one. Tough call even for the tough and the young.
But I refuse to counsel helplessness. There are always things teachers can do in any situation to improve it. Good habits and routines must be inculcated in teachers so that they can be inculcated in their charges. Progress is harder, slower, in unstable schools, but possible. And we can never stop trying to make things better, however we find it. That, surely, is any teacher or school's mission. Leave your spot in a better state than when you first stepped in it. And besides, good teachers eventually become leaders, and perhaps we can reinvent the forgotten skill of running a tight behaviour system inside a powerful and positive culture that values and celebrates civility, achievement and character. If every teacher we train in behaviour management takes the lessons of their classroom into the headteacher's office, then we'll start to see the ship turn. Maybe not immediately, but eventually. As ever, we play a long game.
The audiences were, as usual with Teach First events, terrifyingly young, digitally literate and slender against my grizzled Caliban capering. At times I had to remind myself that I wasn't teaching my Year 13 class (it helped that my sessions at the conference were better attended than said classes). No one rocked on their chair. No one hummed. No one asked if I was a real teacher. And I was content. It's a delight to talk to people at the start of their careers. And if I can pass on the smallest scrap of guidance to steer past the rocks that once scuppered me, I'm a very happy man indeed. I finished the day with my duet with Becky Allen of Education Datalab, talking about research in schools, who provided the meat, the bones, the very vertebrae to my jazz hands, smoke and mirrors. It's heartening to see new teachers start to take an interest in evidence, substantiating their beliefs, and questioning what we teach, why and how. There's just a chance, if we don't stumble, to build a herd immunity into our profession against cant and BS. Maybe.
Then, home before I got love-bombed and buried in the belly of the Wicker Man. The Sons and Daughters of Wigdortz will have to dine on other tsars and monsters tonight, and I live to blog another day.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — The 12 people killed in a mass shooting and gunbattle at a Southern California country-western bar a year ago have been remembered in a public park memorial called The...
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — As terrified people scrambled out of broken windows, screaming and bleeding and fleeing a mass shooting inside a California bar, Sgt. Ron Helus and a highway patrolman decided to try to stop the gunman, running in together with assault-style rifles to what turned out to be an ambush.
Almost immediately inside the dark and smoky bar, the gunman fired on the officers, hitting Helus five times. They retreated and returned fire.
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — The Latest on the mass shooting last month at a California bar (all times local):
10:55 a.m.
Authorities say a sheriff's deputy killed in a mass shooting at a Southern California bar was shot five times by a gunman who killed 11 others, but struck fatally by a bullet fired by a highway patrolman.

Do I Need to purchase all his products, or is this an all around good health and eating tips?
I've read most of the book, but it pretty much parallels what Nourishing Traditions/Weston A. Price Foundation has to say.
I kind of asked this question in another thread, but wanted to go into more detail and felt it would fit better here. My entire family has yeast problems. I wanted to start the Maker's Diet, but found out I'm expecting and my hubby doesn't want to follow a very restrictive diet. We are both overweight. Would it still work if we followed the 2nd or 3rd phase for longer period of time? I would give my hubby Yeast Assassin, TTU, and SuperDad. I would take TTU, Supermom, and maybe digestive enzymes. I'm considering giving my children digestive enzymes along with the diet and TTU. Any other suggestions?
I was thinking of putting my teen boys on phase two of the Maker's Diet but wondered if anyone has started there and still had good results?
Thanks, did you also do the YA?
Could some one please tell me if Maker's Diet endorses sprouted/fermented grains?
This is the 1st time I've ever started a topic so forgive me if I do it wrong. :-\ I searched for Maker's Diet and didn't see what I was looking for so . . .
For those of you who have actually READ the book and tried the principles therein for the 40 days or greater what were your results and opinions?
What about children - any thoughts on age and ability to do the 40 days "jump start"?
And for nursing mothers - is the 40 days (particularly the 1st two weeks) safe?
Has anyone used any of his supplements? If so, which ones and what type of result?
I agree with much of the principles and am just trying to weed things out and balance it out before "inflicting" it on my family. ;)
And last but not least - has anyone actually made it a "way of life" without falling back to the SAD in some form or manner?
Thanx for all your feedback! :)
I also purchased the cod liver oil from Garden of Life. At first it was just gross; but, I forced myself to take it and found it beneficial.
What is SAD?
I can't find my book at the moment :( I thought he was saying that spiralina was good just not a source for B12. Does anyone have that quote or the page number so we could look it up? For the multi vitamins I thought he was just recomending that you be careful of your source. Some multi vitamins are pretty bad. He sells tons of supplements so I can't imagine he's against all vitamins ;)The Makers Diet "The Desperate Search for Health" pg 101. He is discussing the Myth that Vitamin B12 can be obtained from plant sources.
"Many vegetarians believe they get vitamin B12 from eating tempeh (fermented soybean cake), spirulina (a type of algae), and brewer's yeast. Though these foods actually contain compounds called B12 analogs, these compounds cannot be metabolized by the body. Some researchers believe that spirulina, although a generally healthy food, actually depletes vitamin B12 because the B12 analogs compete with vitamin B12 and inhibit the metabolism of the vitamin."
Do any of you have/use the clenzology kit? I'd like to know what the basic principles are. Is it a specific way of washing w/ soap or is it a special cleansing product. ???Bumping this up in hopes that someone may be able to help. I just reread the Maker's diet on it's way out on a loan for a friend. Interested in trying clenzology, but for various reasons do not want to buy the products. What is in the clenzology solutions that make them better than other natural soaps, sinus rinses or natural toothpastes?
Bumping this becaause I just read The Maker's Diet and was curious as well!!Do any of you have/use the clenzology kit? I'd like to know what the basic principles are. Is it a specific way of washing w/ soap or is it a special cleansing product. ???Bumping this up in hopes that someone may be able to help.

I've read most of the book, but it pretty much parallels what Nourishing Traditions/Weston A. Price Foundation has to say. That said, NT advocates the use of lard but does not have any pork recipes (besides bacon or sausage, I think). MD is against all unclean animal products (meat and fat). We pretty much follow MD except for the occasional organic/free-range bacon or sausage I make for my dh. I, personally, am trying to avoid pork. We thoroughly enjoy eating this way and have been very healthy. My dc (3.5yo ds and 1.5yo dd) get 1-2 minor colds per year, no ear infections, no stomach bugs. We have been eating this way all their lives so they don't know any different. We walk down the candy aisle at Wal-mart and they are oblivious! :)Could you tell me... when you were taking the 8 pill per day, was that all 8 at the same exact time or was it spread throughout the day?
In the book he does push a lot of his supplements, which is kind of annoying. I used his Primal Defense and Fungal Defense products long before I ever heard of the book. Those were my first "encounters" w/ probiotics and I would recommend them to adults. (I think it is too strong for dc.) My dh and I took the PD together and boy, did it CLEAN US OUT! We started off w/ 1 pill a day for a week, increasing our dosage by 1 pill each week. We got up to 8 pills/day and kept that going for a month or 2. Both of us had copious green junk pouring out of our sinuses. We did not have colds or anything. Felt fine except we had to blow our nose every 5 minutes. Also cleaned us out on the other end. ;) Helped w/ skin issues for me and allergies for my dh. I would not recommend them to nursing or pg mothers who have never used them before. I would use them now (I'm 10 weeks pg) but it doesn't affect me like that anymore, even if I start out on 8 pills/day. It ain't cheap, so we try to get our probiotics from kefir and cultured veggies now that we have jumpstarted w/ the PD.
So, 2 thumbs up! ;D
I think we were doing 4 in the morning and 4 at night.Thanks! Another question... were you doing the 1 hour thing with no food or how did you take it?
I just finished reading the MD and am so anxious to start our family on this way of life!! I enjoyed NT and respect Weston P, but -for our family- the added element of biblical truth is invaluable.
So- my question is- what about during pregnancy/nursing? I'm 9 wks preg. and still nursing our 16-mo dd. As far as I can see, I'll be nursing and/or pregnant for several years to come with possibly no break in between! ;D Any hope that I can detox my body?? I'm especially interested because in my last preg I had serious gallbladder issues (enough to induce labor :o)
It grosses me out to think of all the toxins and parasites living in me. What's a preggo/nursing mama to do?

Award-winning Park Village director, Favourite Colour: Black has recently delivered his fourth music video for emerging pop talent, Alice Chater and her latest single 'Tonight'.
Released via Virgin EMI Records and produced by Mark Ralph, 'Tonight' is a track that Alice wrote with Martin Terefe (Shawn Mendes, Christina Aguilera). Filmed in a large mansion, the video for 'Tonight' features highly charged and technical choreography, high-concept visuals and FCB's renowned high fashion styling.
Inspired by the prophetic end-of-the-world lyrics, the original concept for a contemporary take on a modern-day witches' coven was borne. With highly stylised provocative and beguiling dancing sirens, ouija boards and spells, Alice even bewitches and courts the Devil himself.
Park Village Director Favourite Colour Black: aka Chris Turner comments:
'For my fourth video for Alice Chater (after Girls X Boys, Heartbreak Hotel and Hourglass), we wanted to do something more colourful, freeing ourselves from the confines of industrial or abandoned spaces we'd used before.
But 'Tonight' is quite an apocalyptic track, so it still had to have some underlying darkness, and some reference to the end of the world - this was part of Alice's original brief.
There were four or five versions of the idea before we settled on a final treatment, and the challenge for me was to build a cohesive concept whilst incorporating lots of ideas from myself, Alice and her creative partner & choreographer Mark Jennings - which would also include their brilliant choreography. In the end, it developed into a witches' coven slumber party'.

Housing in London, England, U.K.
4 thoughts on "London Housing Estates.wmv"
Thanks for video!
UK public housing is actually quite idyllic compared with public housing in Asia. Its clean, well built, central-heated, all amenities are provided (playgrounds, youth centres, libraries, community halls, etc).. If only residents knew how bad things could actually be in other countries they'd probably actually be proud to call those estates home…
I used to live in a housing estate back in south London, still have relatives who live in them. Moved to Japan a few years ago.. if you want to see truly dilapidated public housing, come here. The country's been in a recession for over 30 years, so you can only imagine how things can be here.. The only difference is the people. Residents here have much more respect for their homes and treat their flats as best as they can. Lots of J-chavs (they call them "furyou" here) but NO gang-crime/killings
Interesting. Thanks for posting that. Some of those look similar to public housing in Canada.

Boyscout opened with two drummers, two guitars. Informed by San Diego's unique brand of hardcore and guitarist Lain Weck's roots (Marasol, Fever Sleeves) in odd-time noodling, the set was an energetic experiment in dueling strings and syncopated rhythms. Sleep-y rock riffs gave way to Mercury Program space outs. The synergy between musicians was evident as bro hugs were exchanged mid-solo. Choke up your neckerchief and modulate your guitar to the bass range, Boyscout is here to explode your brain.
Battlehooch from San Francisco's first song was a dead-ringer for "Rudy Can't Fail" and the front man rocked a raging chimo, but so what? The group was exactly as vicious and intoxicating as the name implies.
Fellow Frisco dudes Judgment Day perked ears with brothers on overdriven violin and cello. Dillinger Escape Plan blastbeat drums. Kronos Quartet cuts an album with the Deftones. Apocalyptica, but cooler.
Burning of Rome clearly wasn't phased by the U-31 fiasco. Front man Adam, dressed like Robert Smith gone droogie, made sure to climb on and fall off of his keyboard plenty of times.
"We ran out of mega-phones," he says. "We broke them all."
- Concert: Boyscout, Battlehooch, Judgment Day, Burning of Rome

"We actually stuffed up and bought the wrong ticket; we'd never heard of Super66 before and even thought about returning it," she said.
"$33,000 later we're glad we didn't."
The couple said they only play Lotto when they have spare change and took a chance on a ticket purchased from Shoalwater News and Lotteries.
"I thought my hubby was going to hit the deck when we realised we'd won," the woman said.
"They say good things come in threes; the Tigers won the Grand Final, we won Super66 and with the $21 million Superdraw on Saturday we might see you again on Monday."
Lotterywest spokeswoman Chloe Lawler said although WA had experienced unprecedented Superdraw luck so far this year, every tip would count with $21 million on the line.
"There have been seven Superdraws so far this year with WA producing a winner on almost every occasion," Ms Lawler said.
"That's over $18 million we've given away in Division 1 Superdraw prize money alone," she added.

We showed the reveal of the villain behind the Great Darkness Saga, but now we see how Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen deal with the big bad villain!
Okay, so the big things you need to know is that with Darkseid returned, so, too, has Highfather (Darkseid's good guy equivalent) and he is giving the Legion some aid. Meanwhile, the Legion slowly but surely has turned Darkseid's Daxamite slaves into, well, not slaves anymore...
It's hard to beat that full page spread of Darkseid as he realizes the Legion now have basically 6 billion Supermen on their side!

Once children start school, the result for the parents the problem, what clothing is suitable for this purpose. It was usually quite simple in kindergarten. Sometimes there are real disputes about whether the thin summer dress in winter or in summer the thick thermal pants can be dressed.Clothes for the first years of school have to be practical, clean and well maintained.
Otherwise, it sometimes is problem. Of course, some schools have a dress code.In school, the children have to sit a lot for the first time. Clothes should be neither too tight nor too loose, because children do not feel well.During the breaks, the children must be able to move freely on the swings or other entertainment venues in the school yard. The clothes must be chosen so that it does not restrict them.
Expensive brand clothing is not suitable for attending school for this reason. Winters can be very cold and very warm in the classrooms. The so-called "onion tactic" is a perfect decision.
Children's shoes
Which shoes are the best solution, you can find quite simple. Let your child stand on a piece of cardboard and draw on the foot outline. At the longest you still have 12mm added expect to 17mm, then you have the ideal length. The extra space in the shoe is divided into a linear and growth chamber, whereby the former is 6 to 9 millimetres in size, and supports the proper movement of the foot. However, the growth chamber serves as a reserve for the growing foot. The finished template you can cut out and put in to buying shoes now.
Fits the template easily inside without being too small, so the shoe is perfectly sitting on the child's foot. Contrary to popular belief it is not enough, however, to press when trying on clothes with the thumb on the toe, because children often withdraw their toes reflexively. The choice of footwear should be done very carefully. Never forget that comfortable shoes are essential for the health of the child.

Hertz Car Rentals in Akersberga: What you need to know
With so many neighborhoods in Stockholm, like Akersberga, worth exploring, you'll wish for your own vehicle to check out everything there is to do around the area. Buses or metro, while inexpensive, drop you off far from where you desire. Ridesharing, like Uber or Lyft, is convenient, but you'd be surprised by how many areas don't have service. Plus, if you plan to go all over Akersberga and the surrounding areas, the cost can add up.
If you want the simplest way to get around town for a good price, then you're in the right place. CarRentals.com works with many of the best rental car businesses in the industry. Hertz has over one hundred years of experience and a fleet featuring many of the most respected in the business, like Nissan and Hyundai. With Hertz's renowned history and thousands of franchises all over the world, you will be well taken care of.
Frequently asked questions about renting a car
How do I find the best prices on an Akersberga Hertz car rental?
You are well on your way to getting the best deal on your car rental when you use us. Nevertheless, there are ways to get an even cheaper price on your next rental:
- Compare daily and weekly rates from all the different suppliers
- Book as far in advance as possible. You will usually get your vehicle of your choice and save more
- Check the fuel and mileage policies. You don't want to be surprised with any additional costs
- Don't rent more car than you need. Normally, the smaller the car, the cheaper the rate
A bit of knowledge goes a long way to lower your price.
What do I need have with me when I pick up my car rental in Akersberga?
You will need to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Akersberga?
Hertz's minimum age to rent a car is 21. Make sure to check Hertz's policy, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 or for larger or higher category rentals especially.
Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Akersberga?
That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Akersberga. If you are having difficulty choosing, be sure to go over the table below. We have compared the most popular vehicle categories for you:
|Car Type
|Best for
|Category includes
|Luxury or Premium class
|When you feel like you need the best
|Infiniti Q50, Mercedes Benz CLA, or similar
|Minivan or SUV
|If you plan on doing a lot of driving and want a comfortable ride
|Toyota Rav 4, Dodge Grand Caravan, or similar
|Those looking for a fuel-efficient vehicle
|BMW i3, Toyota Prius, or similar
Is insurance required when you rent a car in Sweden?
When driving in Akersberga or the rest of country, you will need insurance. Hertz requires that you show proof of insurance before you pick up your vehicle. Almost all countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to buy temporary coverage with Hertz.
The major credit card issuers (American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover) will usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering bigger vehicles like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Stockholm.
Does Hertz require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?
Hertz, like many other rental agencies, requires a deposit upon reservation. The deposit can vary greatly based on the size of the car. Additionally, be sure you have enough available on your credit card to make the deposit.
What is the fuel policy on my Hertz car rental?
We encourage a full to full policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank, and you should bring it back it topped off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, find a filling station before you return the car to Hertz. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Can I get unlimited mileage when renting a car in Akersberga?
Most suppliers provide unlimited miles, but you want to ensure it is part of the package. It's useful to know how much you want to drive so you can plan your trip ahead of time. Although most rental car providers offer unlimited mileage, if it isn't part of your package, those miles can pile up—and so can the extra cost. You may need unlimited miles if you are imagining some road trips to explore all that is in Stockholm.
Reserve Your Ride Today!
With everything there is to do in Stockholm, having your own car lets you explore at your own pace. When you are ready to check out more of Sweden, you can leave when you want, without having to hanging out a stop waiting for the bus or hail a taxi.
Heading out of town soon? Book your Hertz Akersberga rental car and drive to all the items on your itinerary. Reserve with CarRentals.com and hit the streets in Stockholm, Sweden.

Sam in Hushi
It's six a.m., I'm on a bus, and I'm awake...for now.
The work retreat that really took me out of my comfort zone
"In order to promote better communication and understanding among our workers, we are sending you on a roadtrip to the scenic area of Beidaihe for this year's 'Worker's Travel Retreat.'" Roughly translating, this was the notification we all received in the hotel computer system two weeks ago, after a couple weeks' anticipation and speculation as to where we would be headed.
I admired the purpose of the retreat, and I thought I would save what little face I had by going, so long as I didn't do anything fool-hardy along the way. But truth be told, I didn't want to go. Not at all. Because, while I might make a few new friends and get to know my coworkers better, this was truly an excursion into the unknown and into untested waters on multiple levels. After the fact, I was glad I went, mostly because I learned some important things about myself in the process, not to mention seeing facets of Chinese tourism I had never seen before and opening my eyes to many things that surprised me.
The map above shows the approximate route that
The Bus
we took on the bus to get to Beidaihe; for some reason, the place name drop-boxes above and the map itself did not include Beidaihe in the larger area of Qinhuangdao, so our route actually veered a little bit south of the coastal point shown on the map. Strange, since I was able to find Beidaihe on the maps part of the Google site. Beidaihe is in Hebei Province, my first time to that part of China, although it is very close to Beijing. We had been told that a "normal" trip between Huhehaote and Beidaihe would take about 12 hours. Our route took 15, because the driver chose the wrong road in Beijing and we were stuck for two hours in rush-hour traffic.
That morning we had risen to meet for breakfast at the hotel workers' canteen at 5:30 a.m., and then quickly boarded the buses parked in front of the hotel at 6. The second-in-command of the hotel was there to see us off; she often eats in the workers' canteen for lunch, maybe every day, in spite of the fact that she could eat at the nicer hotel restaurants for free if she wanted to. I

have always liked her (she acknowledges me and calls me by name when she sees me), and her being out at the crack of dawn to canoodle with the workers and say goodbye and bon voyage deepened my respect for her considerably. PR is obviously her strong suit.
The bus was nice, with personal vents above each row for the air-conditioning system, and head-lamps for reading when dark. It was not comfortable, however, as regards leg-room, especially considering that I had over-packed and practically had to straddle my back pack, which was shoved between my seat and the seat before me: it wouldn't fit in the overhead storage area. What did fit was my bag of groceries, which I had taken the liberty of filling to excess in case there was nothing for me to eat in Beidaihe. Also, of the three days of the trip, two were to be on the road with no stops for meals, only bathroom breaks, so it was necessary to have vittles on hand. Bag lunches are still as much fun as they were up through high-school: tiny lunch swaps were rampant on our bus and I tasted all sorts of strange goodies,
Bubble fight!
Yeah, we're all grown-ups here...
like sour fruit-paste crackers; and was handed some more familiar items, like chocolate cookies. I handed out some of my fruit as barter, since I didn't want my cornucopia to go to waste after getting back to Hohhot.
The trip would have been tiring enough without the entertainment system installed on the bus. Movies and music videos were played the entire duration of the 15 hour ride; I wouldn't have minded this had they been played somewhere in the "not-inducing-premature-deafness" range of volume. Adding insult to injury (literally) were the ads, played every thirty minutes during the movies. The same six ads. Over and over. And one of them was about a plastic surgery clinic, the closing line of which was "Beauty is not inherent; Beauty can be made to order." Nice.
I mention the movies and ads because, in the course of the trip, I learned that the many of the things that annoy foreigners (self included) about the Chinese tourism industry, also annoy the Chinese. The volume of the movies was far from universally loved, especially since most of us wanted to sleep. Other annoyances would present themselves later, and bearing them with my coworkers
Arrow Rack and Window
First Pass Under Heaven
indeed, a good bonding experience and source of humor.
We arrived, bone-weary and hungry, at 9 p.m. We were taken to a small diner, where my supervisor, my main buddy in a mandated buddy-system that only applied to me ("Don't lose the American!" was a repeated line throughout the trip) sent back one of the dishes of food after peering into it and making a horrified face. I asked her what the problem was. She said, "Don't ask." It would turn out that this was a bit of dismal foreshadowing about the amenities arranged by the travel agency. I won't go into the hotel they booked us in. Let's just say it was not a five-star.
We woke up bright and early the next day, had a breakfast of
(steamed bread), pickled veggies, cabbage, porridge, and boiled eggs. We had been warned that we might not be used to the seafood-heavy cuisine in Hebei, but this was a very typical breakfast where we had come from. I am pretty accustomed to this sort of fare and tucked in, just in case the food warnings would turn out to be true. Well, the travel agency once again triumphed
First Pass Under Heaven
in taking us only to "Inner-Mongolianized" places to eat (actually, I guess just North-eastern style). Many of our group were deeply disappointed, as the more food-oriented had come on the trip in the hopes of eating fresh seafood. This is another failing of package travel deals: they often assume that their customers are only willing to eat what they are used to. This happened to me (once upon a time) in Europe, when the travel agency that booked the amenities for my European Humanities class only took us to very "Americanized" restaurants.
After breakfast we departed promptly for our first stop: a section of the Great Wall that sports the "First Pass Under Heaven;" this part of the wall is very close to the eastern-most point and terminus of the wall, which we would go to next. I was struck by how flat the wall was; here, the Great Wall did not resemble the steep, swooping curves of the lushly vegetated Badaling pass, but rather was more like the city wall in Xi'an, with plenty of room to walk, no special hiking skills required, and overlooking busy city streets. It was a pleasant spot, though. The only drawback was,
The red windows with circles are the archers' windows
First Pass Under Heaven
as I began to discover, that Beidaihe's status as a coastal resort did not, by any means, make it a cosmopolitan location. I was the only foreigner on the wall, so far as I could see; I'm used to this, but in Hushi people don't approach me on the street for a photo op. Here not one, not two, but fully ten people accosted me for photos, jumping into the shot one after the other, and making me feel like a tourist attraction or part of the scenery. The second time it happened, fearing another snapping spree I flatly said "No thanks" and walked away. My coworkers began to say I should start charging, and when other tourists did this to me again and again on the trip, my coworkers would glibly shout out, "Fifty kuai per shot! Come on over here to pay up!" I appreciated it; in a way, they were mildly discouraging the gawkers.
Here, more than any other place in China so far, I felt my foreignness. And an event later in the day showed me how deeply immersed I have been in a mostly homogenous society. I was at "Gezi Wo Gongyuan" (Dove's Nest
Dragon (?) Lantern Post
Park), a lovely park with wading spots, a long bayside path, and a promontory with a pavilion called Eagle Rock. As a friend and I mounted the stairs to the pavilion, I looked up, saw a man and was about to look down again when I noticed something odd about his features. It was as if my mind turned over in slow-motion when I finally realized, "He is a foreigner." And in that moment it occurred to me how strange the experience was; I literally thought, "It's like looking in a mirror and not recognizing your own face." It came to me that he was the first foreigner I had seen since Hushi; that I had looked up wholly believing I would see a Chinese or Asian person; and that this wasn't the first time seeing a foreigner had deeply surprised me, although maybe not to this extent. And if I can feel that way about seeing a foreigner, after only ten months of living here, and after only twelve hours away from Hushi, I can understand on a deeper level the staring, the gawking, the amazement and sometimes contempt with which I am met very often in this part
Ticket booth at Lao Long Tou...
..."The Head of the Dragon," eastern-most point of the Great Wall, which dips into the sea
of China.
It will sound corny, no doubt, but this trip truly turned some of my perspectives completely upside down. Not at first recognizing a foreigner as a foreigner was like going through a looking glass or being sucked into a cyclone; Alice and Dorothy, and other heroes of surreal literature do have practical lessons for us, after all. Sometimes, when you go somewhere that is truly alien and new to you, the normal rules just do not apply. I realized that somehow, I had been very strong when I thought I was weak, and I think I came back stronger than before. I learned many lessons about my coworkers and friends, as well, on different but related dimensions of Otherness, the comfort of the known and the threat of the unknown; and found that braving the unknown can be painful or trying, but in the end is worth it. When the normal rules don't apply, your logic begins to change and adapt; and you begin to see things from the perspective of those you live with; at least, a little. "In order to promote better communication and understanding among our workers..." If my coworkers did not come to
