I ran out of time on the computer I was using when I posted my last entry and left a few details out.
The day was bizarre and overall really funny. We went to Bangkok thinking that we were still trying out for the skateboard commercial. Then without telling us what exactly was going on we were suited up and the events detailed in the last post unfolded. It wasn't until after I found out that they had decided we looked to old to be skateboarding in a commercial but still wanted us to try out for the soccer one.
So we get there and go through this hillarious casting where we get swore at by a little Thai photographer yelling at the top of her voice.
Now I'm not exactly offended by swearing, not in the least to be honest. I hold the belief that words only carry the meaning we asign them. So it's a good thing not to say words when you know that they carry a negative meaning for others and especially if they do for yourself but it's just meaning behind the word that really matters. Anyways thats just a longwinded way of saying I thought that the swearing was quite funny given the context, besides I may be wrong but I don't think there will be swearing in the actual commercial(if we're even cast).
On the way back Boy the talent scout asked Joel why we seemed different than all the other foriegners he had met. Joel told him honestly what we were about, Boy asked a few questions and seemed interested.
In other exciting news we'll be helping the young adults who run the youth center to run a big youth event on Sunday. Also the new skateramps will be finished tomorrow and all the skateboarders are really excited. We're soooo excited to. I'll try and post some pictures of the ramps next week. A huge thanks to Rocky CRC's Sunday school for making the purchase fo the ramps possible, it's a huge blessing for the youth center. In fact the center may end up with one of the best skateparks in Thailand(by Canadian standards not much of a park but by Thai standards an incredible park!).
