Just a short today from today, with apologies for not having blogged in so long. Updates to follow... maybe. You can't really count on me, I'm sorry to say. Too busy having lots of Korean fun!
That time we went to see Brave...
So today Will and I went to see Brave. After months of waiting for it to come to Korea, and after giving up hope, I checked the Jecheon Megabox site and saw that it was here. I played at 4:30 in the afternoon on the first day of our Chuseok holiday, and it was the perfect plan for the day. We arrived in plenty of time, got popcorn, got 4 seats to ourselves, and sipped on our thermos of homemade alcoholic hot chocolate. We sat through Korean commercials and previews, and we saw the Pixar short. Finally the movie starts. Stirring Celtic music plays, and Merida, her mother, and her father start talking... in Korean.
The movie was dubbed. We burst out laughing as quietly as possible and after some whispering as to what to do, we left and went downstairs. Will went to the ticket counter to see if he could get a refund without knowing any Korean. After much confusion, he finally got tickets to a 5:20 movie that the man assured him was in English. We took a walk in the lovely Fall weather, then returned. As we went into the lobby, Will checked the tickets to see which theater we were in. He noticed something a bit odd... the tickets were for Taken 2, NOT Brave. When he asked the man at the counter, we were informed that Brave is not playing in English... ever. So we walked around outside and looked at Korean dishes and enjoyed the weather and ended up having a very nice afternoon. In Korea, things don't always go as planned. But we have a good laugh and a good time anyway.
