Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

the life aquatic

Tonight is my last night in Mexico. I'm sitting in a little internet cafe on Isla Mujeres waiting for a picture to upload.

I´ve had fun. I went scuba diving yesterday. I saw giant sea turtles, a shark, an eel, a lobster and schools of fish. It was really cool and I didn't drown.

I'll write more when I get back and have more time.

superman and sushi


yesterday me and my sister ventured out to the mainland to do some shopping and catch a movie. I was dying to see the new pirates flick. we flew out of Nashville the day after it opened and the night before I had gone to the local theater looking for a ticket only to be told, it was sold out.

well it didn't open in Mexico until two weeks after that, so we settled on superman. at least it was playing there then.

I had high hopes for this movie. the night before at the wal-mart in Cancun I found a superman 2 DVD for cheap, and we watched it and I was getting a little hope up.

anyways we take a boat, a bus, see a movie theater, get off...

it's playing superman, well it's superman's opening day in Mexico... it starts in an hour and a half... walk around a Mexican supermarket... let me just say coca-cola blak sucks... I tried it a month before I left... and it sucked... but the Pepsi coffee drink in Mexico, Pepsi Kona rocked... and it's discontinued now and that coca crap is still at jr foods, go figure.

so we got off the bus walk around a supermarket and go back to the theater... tickets are like only 3 dollars... awesome... wait a minute... it's a dubbed version... now my sister could handle that, she's fluent... I'm not... so it got vetoed... the cashier girl said that it was 'subtitled' at the more expensive theaters, those in the tourist zone, so there we went.

so instead we went to this fancy mall, well fancy for Mexico, that had two theaters... the first one had it playing its next showing in two hours, well we had to make the ferry back, and the next showing at the more expensive theater was only in one hour, seeing as how we had a ferry to make... the extra couple of bucks seemed okay.

it's interesting as to how far an extra couple of bucks will go in Mexico.

so the more expensive costs about the same as here, but wow do they add on the extras.

not only stadium seating, but stadium seating with love seats. a cappuccino bar, a sushi bar, a bar, well bar... ect....

it was the best movie theater I've ever been to

and the movie sucked

and I still had fun

go figure.
