Girls Night

The last time that I went to see a movie was in July in Canada! It has been way too long and a much needed girls night out was in order.

After checking movie times and trying to find a movie we all wanted to see, or had heard of, a group of us headed to the Cinema (yes what it is called here) and had a fun evening out.

A couple of interesting things about the movies here:

1. Movies come out way later here than they do in Canada or the States. ie. The Help was out in the summer in Canada and just came out at the end of Oct. here.
2. The movies here are called Cinema...or at least that's what we saw on almost every advertisement.
3. When you purchase your tickets, you actually have to choose your seat.
4. When you buy popcorn they ask if you want it sweet or salted. Hahah this was a fun adventure for the cashier I am sure. "You aren't from here are you" He asked.
5. The cinema sells the cutest little Haagen Dazs ice cream (but it is seriously like two spoon fulls).
6. Half of the movies on the "playing list" were British films that none of us have EVER heard of. But might be something we try next time to just say we experienced it.

Oh another fun adventure of living in England!

All of us in Newcastle City Centre after the cinema. Notice the wet streets (typical England), how there is no one around and the Christmas decorations hanging from the buildings in the background.

Kimmy, Aliyah, Mary and Amanda all standing under the Christmas lights!

Kimmy, Aliyah, Mary and Myself...so excited for Christmas in England.

Watching all the lights go up at Grey's Monument...and Amanda posing for the camera!!!
