Today, we decided to check out the egg stand in the hotel restaurant that we had been wondering about. The stand only makes fried eggs, so we each got a fried egg for breakfast. The morning was spent getting footage for our film.
This evening we were going to go see a movie near the supermarket, so we went there to go look for theatre. We did find one theatre, but it didn't seem right to LuRue from what the she remembered of Baoli's directions. So, we went back to the hotel to call Baoli. It turned out to be the right theatre. That didn't matter anyways because the students taking us to the movie were going to meet us in the lobby of the hotel.
We went back to the supermarket again to get some scotch tape for LuRue. On our way back we found a BBQ place where we stopped for an early dinner - some unexpectedly spicy chicken wings and a bowl of "sweet potato" balls, which actually was regular potatoes mashed into a ball, but it was good anyways.
We got back to the hotel a few minutes before meeting the students. We went up to the room and dropped off some unnecessary stuff before heading downstairs to meet the students. We were actually on time for once! The students led us to the Cinema China Film theatre. They got our tickets and some caramelized popcorn which was delicious. We offered to get them something, but they refused to accept even a handful of our popcorn.
The movie we saw was called "Lost and Love". It is about child trafficking. There were two main characters - a dad trying to find his son and a son that got abducted and was trying to find his parents. We both thought it was a really good movie. We got lucky this time, because there were subtitles in English.
After the movie, we were expecting to just get taken back to our hotel, but nope, they led us around the park where the theatre was, then took us on a bus to go see the bell and drum towers. Sadly, neither of us had our camera, because we were expecting to just go see the movie. We got to watch a guy making small figurines out of a ball of sugar. We also got to try a sweet rice dish, which to us wasn't very sweet. We headed back to the hotel, getting back by 11:30- 2 hours later than expected, but worth it.
