Looks like Aussie actor - Geoffrey Rush (Acted as Captain Barbosa in Pirates of the Carrabean)

Good Vid.
I would say his school and work conditions are newer and better than mine but his accomodation and having to catch the bus were a bit of a downer. I would like to know what city he is living in? Just for curiosity!

Jammish,
Once you copy your video footage onto your computer have a play around with "Windows Movie Maker" It comes standard with Windows XP. You can find it in the programs list in the start menu. This will allow you to add in title screens and captions as well as background music.

Hope this helps. I look foward to your vid.

Hi guys you probably already seen this. but i think it would be a good idea to rate you experiance against it. I think it gives a good idea of what life is like in china for people who havent been yet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5f0bQYafT4&search=teaching%20china

So I propose You compare it with your experiances all things being equal.

If we use a scale of 1 - 10 and this School gets a score of 5 for all topics. a score of 10 being much much better than this and 1 being much much worse

Feel free to add topicsand comments Smile and ave fun

Wake up time - 5
Room Mate - 5
Bus Driver - 5
Journey to school - 5
General School look - 5
Students up for a joke - 5
Students Englis Level! - 5
Toilets - 5
Teachers Room - 5
Accomidation - 5
Street Food - 5


I really liked that video too, thankyou for posting it

Are there any links to any more video diaries such as this?
