As Co-ordinator of YoMaTre and the Uma Media (Media House) in Suai Chamot has privileged access to the Internet. His first video uploaded to the suaimediaspace.ning.com was Dancer a short documentation piece showing a martial art dance in Kamenassa. This second piece is a comic take on the language gap between the two communities trying to make friends but hampered by the language barrier. Or  is it just Chamot’s first experiment with the computer camera? You be the judge.

We set up a social network at suaimediaspace.ning.com to facilitate communication between the two communities of Port Phillip and Suai in 2009 and this short video of a man dancing in Kamenassa was uploaded there by Chamot in 2009. It was a truly exciting moment because it was the very first video documentation uploaded to the Internet from Suai EVER.  The dance, I am told, originates in Indonesia and is similar to a martial art. Check out how that man squats like a mosquito it’s truly amazing and the location sound is a whole new sound to be heard on media that provides international access. Enjoy and CONGRATULATIONS CHAMOT.
