I've been pestered by AnD on a weekly basis to post a blog so here it is.

Recently I worked on a shoot about the soon-to-be-completed ICC Building. We were on location and had to wear sexy hard hats whereever we went. Our "trailer" was on the 57th floor. Now, if any of you reading this have visited a construction site, you'll know that one has to get into what they call a lift but which is actually a cage attached to the side of the buiding to go up and down (mind you, in order to get on the lift, you have to shout at a lady as the elevator is passing you in the opposite direction). So anyway, it's great to see the English language being used! Reading bad English in Vietnam, Thailand and China is pretty much the "norm" but to read it here, in Hong Kong, well, it pretty much sums up our government and education system.

Signs like: Fragile Floor, don't walk on the ceiling is great. Or, Strictly probhits the smoking offender fining $200.

$200 fine for smoking isn't bad I guess even though 95% of construction workers do smoke to kill the frustration I suppose. On course there's no fine for spitting - that would be unheard of!

And to speak of smoking. I smoke though have tried to quit on a daily basis, without success. It's crazy that people here care and are offended by the smell of cigarette smoke but couldn't give a toss about pollution and exhaust fumes spewing out the back of cars, mini buses and / or buses/trucks. Beats me really.

That's my first installment! Nothing to do with the Ent Industry except for the fact that only in production does one get to experience so many different things in life - and be paid for it. I love it.

Yes, yes, I will admit to being in the video..........
