A couple of weeks ago my friend Angie asked me if I was interested in doing some filming for a Korean shopping channel, with the chance to make some money. Of course I said yes, something great about being a foreigner here is that you get random opportunities to turn up, be yourself and get paid for it. I have previously also filmed for a samsung advert and in China my friends and I were filmed for some kind of drama. Angie asked me to also get a guy to come with me (they insisted he be white so as to maintain the Korean English speaker stereotype) and I roped in my friend Michael to help. We had a great time messing around on the set, as there were lots of fun props. The product we had to gush over was a type of 'English speaking robot'. Basically a computer programme that you speak to and it communicates back. It had a hard time understanding my accent as it was geared towards an American one, and this made for some funny mistakes but overall it was a cool toy to play with!

ReplyDeleteNone of the toads I've kissed turned into Princes. :-(
