Well I remember when I was there talking to my swiss friend. That people do sell their passports if they want/need some extra cash. Then they go to the embassy and get a new one. I dont remember the exact price but it was actually a lot of money you could get for it. Same with credit cards you report them as lost 24 hours later.
I'm still pissed that I didnt arrive 2 weeks earlier on one of my visits to phuket in 94. They were shooting the movie cutthroat Island with Gena Davis and Matthew Modine and my swiss friend was in it and so where some other people I knew as extras. The pay was 100 US$ a day. But they worked hard 0700 to late in the evening. Van damme did a movie there as well about the same time. My swiss friend know the guy that arrange for extras to filmcrews in phuket. It would have been so cool. They were shooting there for 2 weeks. Not a huge pay for all the work they put into it. My friend lost several kilos due to all the training they had to do with the fencing. But imagine poping in a dvd and pause it when you see yourself. What will your friends will say....
There were some students at the school here in sandiego who were in the titanic movie that was filning just south of the boarder. One guy actually had 3 parts in the movie and he even had some lines in it.
Well i watched myself on CNN an early morning when I did the journalist trip outside of Belgrade when I was a un-troop. That was my 5 seconds of fame.
