Batman Begins


Grand Department Store
Our once sunny skies have now turned into the gray rainy days that come to Korea in June/July. And Craig's computer has found itself in the hands of Yongsan workers for up to a month (there are hardware problems - and the parts have to be shipped from Canada in order to be covered under warranty). Therefore, we are without a DVD player for awhile and since we got rid of our TV in December, we're without any at-home movie/TV enterainment for the wettest month of the year.

To cope, we have been going to DVD bongs (which we should have been going to more often), watch Korean movies on VCD (most storylines are horrible, but show life in Korea well), and just last weekend, Craig and I went back to Grand Department Store to watch Batman Begins. I'm usually not a fan of the '2hour+' movie, but I was entertained from beginning to end. And Clara's right (I will let her site explain). The only difference though was having to smell the processed squid snacks that the Koreans eat along with their movie popcorn and jumbo coke.

On a side note, I have found that Rick Mercer has started his own blog. I'm delighted in finding this site. It humanizes the Canadian who has made me laugh for over 10 years now.
