Bollywood in Hong Kong



Hello! I’ve now been in Hong Kong for a few weeks, I’m enjoying it so much and things seem to be getting better everyday.

The highlight so far was a night spent as an extra in a Bollywood film playing a croupier at a casino. I was approached by a guy looking for people for the job and it was an easy sell –‘we’re shooting out in Macau Island at the Venitian Hotel, the world's largest casino' – I’m in. The fourth largest building in the world, it was the most luxurious place I’ve ever been or could have imagined. We were dressed up by the costume people in the casino uniform and spent the night behind the tables dealing out cards and collecting up chips. It paid too, so we must be some of only a handful of lucky people to have left the Venetian with more money than we came in with.

I just came back from a show for the British Council of Hong Kong, an organisation that specialises in international education and cultural relations. A good show a great bunch of people.

At the moment Im arranging to meet with photographers and considering making a video for Hong Kong like the one for India, which has been remade to play a lot smoother.

That's all for now...
