Movies

So first lets begin with Tuesday,

I went with Leah to go see Avengers!!! 

YESSSSS!!!
Let's just say movies in Japan are very very different than movies in America. The prices were good pretty much the same as American, you know slightly expensive. But They had some added twists like they gave you a tray for the popcorn and snacks and you had the cupholders like always. However upon purchasing the ticket you were also able to select your seats.

NO MORE SCRAMBLING TO FIND A PLACE FOR EVERYONE!!

haha Well sorta, since it was just Leah and I we picked a place in the center of the Theater. It was so worth it.  Leah and I wandered around the mall more, it reminded me of the fancy malls back home, you know where everything is luxury, brand name, designer. It was pricy stuff. But We came back got some snacks and there were some rules even chewing too loudly was against the rules.

In Japan you have to wait to get seated, they only will let you in 10 minutes before the movie. And so around that time, they call out the movie they are going to seat and everyone lined up. Strange, just a bit. You had the previews then it went straight into the movie which was subbed and not dubbed (Though Dubbed was an option)

I loved it, but I have to say I think Japanese and Americans are also different when watching the movie. In America we talk and interact with it. You know, cheering, Oooooing, and Aaaaahing, and what not. Japanese just watch it quietly. I had to be careful not to do what I normally do but even when I laughed it was just Leah and I.

And they are the parts you are supposed to be laughing at!!! Only part I heard them remotely laughing was when Loki got smashed by the Hulk.

After the credits Leah and I were talking and reacting as normal, people stared. But all the pent up excitment really at that point poured out. Something about a good movie that just gets you pumped up so so sosososososoossoooooo much!

Anyways back to Tokyo I will blog about that later.... and Himeji, And Yokohama, and Motoyama, and Kyoto....

Yup the list is long my friends
