This is probably going to be the first flashback post on my blog here. In between movie set stories and upcoming projects, I'll write about how my life in HK was. One of the coolest things I did out there was teach english to kids. I started out small with a school in Tin Shui Wai a few times a week but then was going to have a huge ESL gig at a remodeled school. The school was even going to put up posters and billboards all over HK promoting me and my friend. We wanted to go for a look like these guys:
I always got quite a laugh when I seen those posters for him and Dick Hui and Kevin Ko ( I think that was his name). Sadly everything came to an end with what happened that left me sleeping on park benches and flat broke. I'll address most of these stories in my book.
Before I left, I did pyut up little tag notes around Yuen Long, Tuen Mun and Tin Shui Wai to tutor and teach people Japanese and english. It went ok. I was also very cheap, I just need you to buy me dinner. I also was approached by a guy in Yuen Long to start teaching at a school there about 2 weeks before I left. It was too late to get my visa going at that point. But I do miss the days of teaching out there. Heres a pic of me and my first class I worked with.
