Looks like I'll be going to the Olympics next year in Beijing to work for a major Australian television network. They are paying for me to fly over there, accommodation is paid for, they also give us a daily allowance for lunch and dinner. I haven't been to Asia before, so I am looking forward to it. Still a year away so plenty of time to think about exactly what I am going to do. Just thought I would share my great news. :)

I'm currently working full time at a production house, but I told my boss that I would like to take some time off, as this is too good an opportunity to pass up. He totally agrees with me. :rockon:

Scotty

Do it.....
You're never going to get another opportunity like this on someone else's dime.

can i come?!? lol congrats bud!!!

congrats scott! def dont pass it up!

I won't be. Thanks guys. Just need the confirmation tomorrow, and I'm set!

Scotty

My God! You'll be the tallest man there! Be sure to say Hi to me when you get there consider if I'm one in a million, I'm sure you'll see six of me there.

Noy - Could I possibly have that post again, but in English! :p I have no idea what you said. Something about me being big, and winning lotto! lol

Scotty

Congrats Man!!!!!! that sounds really freaking awesome!!!! im super stoked for you!!!

Thanks Aldrin. :) I will be getting the paperwork soon enough, then it's official. I have to say, I'm a little excited.

Scotty

Entertainment Industry+ Olympics+ Free+getting paid=FTW!

dont eat the sticky buns, hair sauce, drive a brilliance, solicite a hooker, and a few other things i cant think of at the moment. I wanted to go to the olympics but honestly the news out of china is downright scary lately

Yeah i went to china a few times its great to visit but i wouldn't want to live there, FYI don't walk alone late at night.
It should be a great experience though and will make you more knowledgable about the world so i wish you best of luck.

Thanks guys. yeah, I'll be sticking close to home, or going out in groups. It's been too long since I was Ultimate Fighting Champion. I'm so rusty!

Scotty

Welcome to Asia. For sure you are gonna like the place. It was a great offer. :) You are lucky. :d
