It’s nearly impossible to talk about Korean culture without mentioning the healthy and delicious representative food, kimchi, the pride of Korea.
There are actually quite a few different types of “kimchi’s”, spicy, fermented vegetables, but Chinese Cabbage is usually the first one we always think of, though radish is very common too.
Here’s a few of the 4K Film demos I did with my new Panasonic camera. These are just quick improvised test projects.
Funny improvised 4K Film Demos from around town:
A) “On the trail” – 50’s Black and white suspense classic in Canadian Wilderness. I really learned the power of music to draw people into stories on this one. I started creating a little classical soundtrack music for that one.
Welcome to The Bondaygee Arts Studio!
What the heck is ‘Bondaygee’ you say? Read description or watch video here.
Well it’s a Korean word that basically means “cocoon”. While living in Korea for about 12 years, I made a little “Bondaygee” Song and later a bondaygee movie. Naturally I became known as “James Bondaygee”. I enjoyed the concept very much because ‘Bondaygee” strongly represents the entire “Creative Process”, transformation and rebirth. It’s a good meditation in itself.
Anyways I love to work in Film and photography. I have a wonderful 4K camera. Also I do music recording, video, animation, graphics, 3D logos, 3d animation and website creation.
If you need help with any of those things don’t hesitate to contact me here. I can probably save you a lot of money! 🙂 I’m located here in beautiful Vancouver, B.C, Canada.
The Rocky Mountains are a great reason to come to Canada. Come and let’s go camping!
On the next few pages you can see a bunch of Korean pictures. This will give you a great idea of what it’s like living and teach ESL there. It might help you decide if you want to go there or not.
This is the beautiful Emerald Lake. I actually swam in this lake!
These are my awesome boys, Julian and Gene. Both born in Cheongju, South Korea.
1. What is the “Bondaygee Secret”?
Imagine every class in your school, whether it be High School or Elementary School, all happily competing to see who can be the first to memorize all of Bondaygee’s Very Good Words™ study videos! As a matter of fact, it’s been done before and I can honestly tell you the results were astonishing!!
How was is it done? Easy, just start off each class with one of my Very Good Words Vocabulary Videos! They are full of energy and they only take two minutes to practice and sing. Because these essential English Words are strung together like “pearls” on a musical string, they are “piece of cake” to memorize. Now when you have every classroom all competing to be the first to memorize the words, the learning pace becomes phenomenal!

Bondaygee’s English is for just about everybody. But I must admit, I had a lot of natural enthusiasm for teaching children. Much of that came from my Grandmother, who was my best teacher.
If you happen to be teaching children, make sure you’re using good games to make it fun. Please check out my “BEST ESL GAMES” page. It’s essential for good class experience.

Great games are an excellent way of making a class exciting. I frequently used catchy music while teaching and for lessons, in general, I always used ESL Games to make everyone feel and believe that they are having fun while they learn. Here’s some of the best games.
