Origami Cup

I'm sure you may have some idea how to make an origami cup from a square of paper. If not, try it out, it's quite handy and easy to learn.



Bek got this particular origami paper with her health check papers. If you want health insurance in Japan you need to undergo a yearly physical. Of course a physical requires some analysis of your body. At least some parts of your body. And if you note the colour of this paper and it's prescribed use you may guess that there is also some analysis of your bodily fluids.

The instructions ask you to use this cup to hold your early morning urine. Bek at first thought they meant to carry it from home to the doctor's office in this cup. A mighty feat on the Tokyo subway, to be sure. Of course that seems unlikely. However I think it's amusing that your origami skill somewhat dictates your ability to collect your sample. And the square seems quite small, resulting in an even smaller cup.

Luckily I'm allowed to be unhealthy as I like without having to pee into a tiny, leaky square of folded paper.
