On Wednesday night Ward and Jelle from the TV show "Baanbrekers" arrived on a very delayed train from Shanghai where they had been shooting before. "Baanbrekers" is Dutch for "Trailblazers". Jelle and Ward have been filming people from Limburg all over Asia. I was numer 9 in line ;)
On Wednesday night we held a small meeting at my house, accompanied by some wine and chocolate. We discussed the script and made a plan for Thursday: our shooting day.
“Mom, I'm NOT tired!" |
The day started off a bit late as they had trouble finding a cab. No worries, we are very resourceful and know how to get stuff done! My previous TV experience came in handy and we didn't need many takes per shot. We filmed a lot at our music school and then went on to Ersha island. By then it was lunchtime so I called my local tea restaurant to bring by some food. We ordered in because most of their equipment was in need of being charged.
By this point Jelle had lost his phone. Ayaaa, not good!! We went to the Icloud website and sent a message to his phone, requesting the finder to call me. Finder Simon did this and we arranged a five o'clock pick up at JiangXia metro station. In the meantime Simon had added me to his Wechat so we chatted a bit and he kept me updated :) How cool!!
Yay :) |
Before they went to the metro station we did a take in my house. Then we went outside for 2 more takes with a selfie stick, chatting as we walked. First in a tiny street and later along the river.
We then had only one take left at the foot massage, but the guys had to go pick up the phone. Again, no worries as I had to get back to mommy duty at that point anyway. We agreed to meet up in the evening as I booked 3 spots at the foot massage. It's safe to say that I've converted two more people to the wonderful world of foot massage ;)
After the massage we went for a drink to conclude our successful day together.
Family life has been good. Lexie and Izzie are slowly starting to play together a bit. Izzie laughs her head off when Lexie dances, so cute!

Katja is coming by to hang out later and this evening we're meeting up with another Dutch friend. All very close to home so we can take care of our two cuties as well.
