As Madame Heran was describing what would be The Paris set out each morning for breakfast, I blanked on the Marathon word ‘miel’ (honey), and ended up receiving a sev- passed through Meg’s eral-minute lecture about how it’s made and what neighborhood. its uses are. “And when she told me to please be careful with my keys, I happily replied: ‘Jamais’, or ‘never’, thinking that she had told me not to lose them.” Luckily for Meg, her host family was “incredibly patient, having hosted several American students before.” She said she and Patrice and Beatrice Heran and two of their three daughters had “din- ner together four nights each week, at 7:30 on the dot. And after dinner, we watched the evening news and whatever was on TV.” Unfortunately that too often turned out to be the aforementioned poorly translated reruns of “Buffy Contre les Vampires” or “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” But, as Meg says, “In fairness to my host parents, they usually argued for something besides Buffy, but those host sisters were really all about it.” A Paris Nonetheless, Meg says her time with her “host landmark -- Sacre Coeur family is defi nitely one of the aspects of my time Church. abroad that I think about most often.

Meg says she loved all of her travels on weekends and during school breaks, but she most enjoyed ex- periencing Paris itself. “More than anything,” she says, “I feel incredibly lucky to have had the op- portunity to study abroad. Not only is my French noticeably better (just ask her Aunt Natalie who mastered the language of Voltaire at the Alliance Francaise), but I have a better idea of what I might want to do after college as far as pursuing a career with international opportunities.” And now that Meg is back full-swing into the fall semester at Madison with an 18-hour course load, she is dreaming of Paris in the springtime when there was a “calmness to daily life that would allow you to really slow down and just enjoy what you’re A military parade in London. doing.” Meg, you CAN put a little piece of Paris in your She especially enjoyed being with her sisters daily life by repeating this simple French phrase Sara and Annie in London and Paris, and her trav- that we have mounted over our kitchen sink: “Tou- els with her friend Marty Drumm to commune with jours en vacances.” their ancestors in Ireland.

Chicago Architecture Foundation “Shanghai Transforming,” the Chicago Archi- tecture Foundation’s newest exhibition, is free and open daily at 224 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, through Jan. 9. Consisting of photos and graphs, “Shanghai Transforming” offers visitors an overview of the vast changes taking place in China’s most populous city. Capturing a snapshot of a city in transition, Shang- hai Transforming explores the past and speculates about future possibilities of Shanghai. In contrast to new construction in the established cities of Europe and America, Shanghai’s new ar- chitecture and infrastructure challenges traditional design and urban planning. The exhibition asks visitors to consider the future of China—and of the rapidly urbanizing planet. Architect and urban planner Iker Gil is curator of the exhibition. Photography is the work of Juan de Dios Perez. A description of programs coinciding with the ex- hibition are at www.architecture.org. For more in- formation, phone 312-922-3432.
