Brent finally took his new wife out on a proper date (we're learning lots of good british verbage from English blokes on our tour) on Friday night in Saigon. We went for traditional Vietnamese pho (yes, we've had lots of it) and then to the Galaxy Cinema in Saigon's version of Central Park. It was a fancy cinema with a huge arcade where we raced motorcycles (easy to do after all the inspiration from the crazy traffic here), then purchased two actual beers and popcorn. Bonus for me was that their popcorn is actually kettlekorn - and anybody who has been to the Breckenridge Farmer's Market with me knows how much I like the kettlekorn.
The cinema plays music videos before the movie starts and they were all Backstreet Boys videos - straight from 1993. Hysterical! Then a series of commercials started and we laughed at those almost as much as at the movie. They were just so different in their acting, their language (obviously), their music and the products. It all just looked slightly different and, we thought, very funny.
Then to the movie, Hancock, which was entertaining, though we can't say much for the ending. hmmm....but, dinner and a movie and I'm a happy wife in Vietnam!
