Oh, yes, we did. I mentioned last week that we should take the students to see a movie in the big city of Ninh Binh. He's said yes, so I played the trailers of the two movies showing at the theater: Finding Dory or Independence Day. You can imagine what 20 guys wanted to see. Three of the sisters decided they wanted to go, also. So off we went in a buss, the thirty miles to something so special.
Everyone was so excited to be in the lobby. You see, only two had ever been to a movie theater before and. One had been to a 3D movie. They were crazy with excitement. Here are Vinh, me, Binh, and Bruce surrounded by happy people.
Here are some random shots of us all waiting.
Hao was especially excited because his major in college was programming. He loved all the computer stuff he saw.
Just 11 minutes until the rollercoaster ride.
It was exciting to watch the movie with this crowd. They laughed, cheered, and gasped loudly. I was worried about how the sisters would take all the violence, but they all told me they loved it. The adrenaline was flowing for hours after. Oh, and they loved wearing the 3D glasses.
