I guess this book is a more realistic representation of the real thing. I do like reading books that give a glimpse into other ways of life. I find it interesting to try and imagine cultures so different from my own.

Unfortunately it wasn't as good as my previous samples into this genre. It was such a quick read that it's not a big deal though.

I've never had a problem with being in front of the camera but I'm definitely more comfortable doing it now than I was in the beginning. The big turning point for me was when I stopped over planning my videos. I find they work better when I'm more natural and relaxed. Some of my earlier videos from when I started were scripted and it totally showed in the presentation. My advice... If you do decide to do video just be you and try to have fun with it.

Just because I didn't particularly like the book doesn't mean that others won't though.
