American Movies

We went and saw the movie Hitch last night. Let me tell you about the movie theatres here. First off, there is assigned seating. About 20 people from our office went, and we basically took up an entire row. When you enter the theatre, the first thing you see is a corn salesman. And, I don't mean popcorn. I mean they sell "American Sweet Corn," hot, in a small bowl, with the option of a few different kinds of sauces.

There is also an intermission. Half way through the movie, it comes to a bumbling hault (any by that I mean it basically skips around a bunch), and then a really tacky slide made in 1983 comes on the screen that says, "Intermission."

Anyway, I just thought that was funny and different. Other than that, still have not had the chance to look around that much in Hyderabad. I am slowly getting acclamated. It is funny, but much like the winters in many states, where people stay in on really cold days, people do the same here. In fact, people really like to hang out inside because it is so hot outside everyday.
