Rain of Hamburgers!

Continuing the regression, I fear my current age may be 7.

Yesterday was Cine al Mil. Which means every movie theater in Chile was showing movies for mil (1,000) pesos. This translates the the rather steep price of $1.80. After my internship I ran to pick up tickets for a movie that directly translates to "Rain of Hamburgers." In the US it's the kids' movie entitled, "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." A large number of movies released in Chile are in English just with Spanish subtitles. We were surprised when the whole thing was in Spanish. Luckily it's a children's movie so we could understand it all. It was a really cute, funny movie!

We were the oldest people in the theater without children of our own. Before leaving my 8 year old host sister begged me to take her with her. I couldn't because it was a school night, but I think I gained major cool points for going to see such a "hip" movie... at least with Panchi, probably not as much with Nacha, my 19 year old host sister.

Summation: I saw Rain of Hamburgers, laughed hysterically, understood the spanish, and have the heart of a 7 year old.

Bueno Bye!
