The movies!!

A little piece of home!! Last week, we actually went to see a movie in a Chinese movie theater that is not far from our apartment. At this theater, they play one new English movie per month. We went with a large group to see James Bond, The Quantum of Solace...it released here before it did in the States. I was shocked!! The experience was certainly interesting. We started off in this HUGE theater that was VERY nice. However, the center channel wasn't working in this theater. We had three people from the speaker industry with us, so they immediately started making a fuss! :) All the Chinese people didn't really mind, because they were reading the subtitles anyway...but the rest of us couldn't hear the dialogue. After about 30 minutes, they came in and announced that they were going to move us to another theater. This one was much smaller, and every seat in the place was filled. At least we could actually follow the plot though! We got popcorn (which we ate little of because it tasted sweet like cotton candy or something) and a Pepsi. The people next to me and the people behind us answered their cell phones & talked throughout the movie but...the overall experience was good, and it was nice to see a movie.
