So over the weekend, I went to the movies with a friend of mine to go see Captain America 2: the Winter Soldier. Omo it was so good! I am not going to go to much into the film because I am not sure how many of you have seen it yet and I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you have the chance to, try to go see it if you can!
It was really like a date since I was paying for everything ( I was paying her back for showcase tickets), and even still the prices were a little cheaper, if not comparable to the States. But the quality was much better. I love the fact that no matter what movie theater you go to, the staff is always really friendly, the floors are never sticky or dirty, you are able to pick the seat you want before you go into the theater and it is assigned seating so once you pick it it is yours, and the seats are super super comfortable!
We did not go see the movie in 4D (kind of wish we had now) but it was still really good. And I finally got to try the Korean popcorn! I got us a large "original" and a small of the cheese. The original was lightly buttered, but still really good even though I miss my super soaked butter, and the cheese was interesting because it tasted like powdered nacho cheese, but after the first few bites I was hooked!
another thing I find interesting and different here is that the movie ticket is printed out like a normal receipt, not cute little individual ticket stubs that I am so fond of collecting to save, but rather they are just plain thin recites. Great I guess for people who are not into collecting and eventually scrap booking, but for me I miss the whimsy that comes from holding the ticket stub in my hand and getting flashes from the movie night. But I digress, going to the movies is really fun here in Korea, usually you have to got to the top floor of a shopping mall, or if you are as lucky as I am go to the floor of an abandoned mall and take the elevator up to the top floor to get to your friendly neighborhood movie theater!
So, tl;dr movie theaters are great and if you get the chance to go, Go!
