The Canfields in China

hi again friends,

Saturday 12:46 P.M.

It began when a call came in that Heather/Ms.Couch (a friend of my parents) told someone that she knew a kid who’d be able to tryout for a part in a commercial, and that’s how it all began.

Wednesday 4:55 A.M.

Mom wakes me up, while I get some hot CoCo mom puts my cloths in order for when I am done with breakfast.

Wed. 5:31 A.M.

We hopped in a taxi at 5:30 a.m. It was so early everyone else was sleeping! NO lights were on in any windows. The taxi there was of course paid for, after we got there we relaxed at the CiCi club.Wed. 6:37 A.M.
The other kids got there and we rehearsed our parts, after that we all (including the “girls”) had to have some goo put into our hair to make it stick up. Then we got to learn each others names. : LARRY, SANDY, AND GABRIELLA. Part of the scene we ran through water from a fire hydrant, and the next thing is disgusting: a LOREAL model and a fire hydrant spraying water to run past.

Wed. 9:01 A.m,
They finally started actually filming the Commercial and then after we had done our parts the director told us to do something just to ad some sizzle to the C-mercial: it was to play in the water while he got some close close ups of us kids, well it wasn’t that bad just playing in the water, actually really and literally I was soaked from head to toe.

Wed. 9:33 A.M

After an embarrasing change of cloths and a thirty or so minute break we got back out their and ended up having to do the exact same thing again and went through another change of cloths and finally it was over and I got paid 700 kuai (chinese money) me and mom went to the outside C-mercaillists eating place with Gabreilla and her mom.

Wed. 11:00 A.M

We leave the seen and go home (oops we left our bag, now we leave)

Wed. 12:13 A.m

We get home and relax after along eight hours. Since I don’t like to rest, soon I went outside to play, shortly after that I went out to eat dinner with my dad, mom and church friends.

Wed. 7:41 P.M.

Mom and I organize my 700 kuai then I went to bed to get some much needed sleep.

Sorry, no photos!  They were sent to us via email and for some reason they will not permit us to post them. We will try to work this out. Stay tuned…

Your Bloggers Son,
