FILMING FOR THE THAI NEWS

So today 'Morning World' came with the British Council to film me teaching at school. It was all very casual, they informed me I would be filmed teaching, have a short interview which would be aired to around 7 MILLION people in Thailand in about two weeks. Out of the 200 ETA's, I was told that just three of us would be filmed. I'm not sure why my area was picked, maybe it was easy for them to get to- but my director obviously knew about this before me as he popped to the salon for his hair and makeup to be done- I wish I was joking. I chose to sport the au natural look, the sweaty round face is in fact a 'glowing complexion', which took me hours to perfect, a thank you.
Here are some photos from the day. I did 'how often' with the students, they were amazing and answered all my questions perfectly. Probably due to the fact I promised them sweets every day for the next week. I also somehow ended giving the film crew a tour of my house, and had to do a walking interview around the lake/large pond in the middle of the school grounds. For some reason I wasn't nervous. I think it's because I found out about it all half an hour before it happened, so nerves would only waste valuable lesson planning time!
