Today walking up my street I found an old lady selling Betel Nut (well technically it is Areca Nut wrapped in Betel Leaf), a natural stimulant found Asia.
I recognised the Betel Nut for what it was from my trip to Myanmar about 2 years ago where every 10 meters on every street in the main city area of Yangon is someone sitting at a small booth selling Betel Nut in a variety of mixes for different flavour.
Previously I tried Betel Nut there in Myanmar but got no high out of it so today I jumped at the chance to try it again. So in Thai I asked the old lady "How much", her reply "10 baht" about 30 cents so out came the spare change and I walked off the happy new owner of...
Do It Yourself Betel Nut Kit
Why? Well Betel Nut is a stimulant, said to be as strong as coffee but also addictive, to me that sounds not quite right.... reading up on the customs and talking to people with 1st hand experience with Betel Nut chewers it sounds like it must be a lot stronger than coffee...
In fact it sounds an awefully lot like after chewing for prolonged periods you get a Betel Nut high...

Alright everyone is doing a Vampire movie, Vampires are IN, seems to be the message even the satirical cartoon series South Park did an episode on the latest fad. Several box office smashes and everyone is scrambling to get a piece of the pie...

Blood: The Last Vampire follows the Japanese anime storyline with the heroine, South Korean Actress and Model Gianna Jun, playing in the role of a 1/2 Vampire 1/2 Human Japanese Schoolgirl complete with cute sailor style Japanese school uniform....

After much waiting and many delays I have finally made a new showreel featuring the latest movies, this is a much needed update to my previous showreel, and much, much better than the original showreel that Ray threw together for me when we were looking for finance for Bangkok Adrenaline. As you can see most of the footage is new except some of the final wrestling which was a direct lift from my old showreel as I am pressed for time.
So why am I pressed for time?

I was reading Sir Richard Branson's (owner of the Virgin group of companies and one of the most successful men on earth, builder of the fastest ever company to reach $1 billion turn over, etc) latest book the other day and came across one paragraph that stuck out in particular, in amongst a chapter on Entrepreneur and Leadership.
The simplicity and condensation of everything you need to know to stop being a failure and becoming a success all boiled down to one simple paragraph....

These photos were taken in China during the filming of True Legend at the local gym.
The camera was my trust Nokia N95 which does not take good indoor photos and the pics are also a bit blurry as I got a local guy to take a couple dozen photos in a fast sequence and these were the best pics.
Finally Looking Like A 7 Foot Bodybuilder
Big Don (who is a professional movie animator) helped clean up the pics as best he could for me so here they are...
