Reality TV shows are shot over a week and then edited. So, I was thinking, if I were to be editor-in-chief of the "Life at the Whale Embassy" what 30 second clips would I include to convey life at the camp and give us all that semi-pop icon feel.

So for my Top 8 reality camp clips.

1. The arriving and introducing of new people and names. You got to introduce your team to the audience.

2. The passing out of chocolate and other treats as activists come in from other countries. …hmmm chocolate from Switzerland and along with chocolate sharing would be some heart felt bonding. Bless those Swiss! You know, some people just have foresight.

3. A climbing lesson up the pole. I mean, climbing up the pole just looks photographic. So that would get in, but there would have to be some added humour in it, like half way to the top the trainee would need to use the bathroom or need to take a call from home only it turns out to be a telemarkter.

4. Some random conversation of previous Greenpeace campaigns.

5. Tent mate issues. There are three of us without tents who sleep in a room off of the kitchen/living room in the hut that was built. One night, we had another tentless body in camp. Raoni gave up his sleeping bag and MY pillow. Then others proceeded to take my mat and blanket to sleep with. When I got to bed, I found my sleeping bag in the tangle, and some left over floor space inbetween Raoni and our other tent mate. Just as I got as comfortable I could get, both guys rolled over in there sleep leaving me sandwiched. The snorring started minutes later.

6. Little clips of random Koreans that come into the Embassy with a variety of activists answering the questions with the help of the interpretur. Some would be friendly, but at least one clip of drunken fisherman at 4am would be included.

7. A series of cliplets of the night shift. Shifts go from 11pm-1am, 1am-3am, 3am-5am, 5am-7am. The first and second shift have a variety of people still milling around and often just kicking back and telling stories. Then the 3am-5am, it is DEAD quiet. This shift worker looks TIRED and slightly bored, wearing lots of coats (it gets cold at night.) They are killing time on the internet and writing a web blog. 5am arrives, big smile! …smile fades as the realise they don't remember what teneavet houses the 5am-7am replacement. ",,,pst, pst, PST!! …is this Bart's tent." "No. it's over there." "Where?" "There. The small one." …the camera shows a sea of small tents. "…pst, PST. …Bart are you in there?"

8. Conversations about the different Korean things that activists run across they find intresting; the luxury of public bathhouses (a trip to the local spa is 4000 won), personal oppinions of kimchi and soju, and the fact that we were able to create a phoneline and internet connection to no registered address (a parking lot we don't own.)

9. The long and tedious conversations with city government officials who inevitably appear almost daily, trying to make us leave. The image would be of them smoking furiously, drinking hot camp coffee from our plastic tweety mugs..

10. And finally perhaps our forcible eviction - will it or won't it happen, only time will tell..

Any other suggestions?
