Saturday Date night

This past Saturday Ronny and I planned a date night. We left the kids with some cash to get some dinner from Subway and we headed out on our own. Our plans were to go see the movie Tropic Thunder and then try the Thai restaurant at the department store.

I love when I go to the movies with just Ron and me because we always get snacks. The snack choices here are different than the snack choices back home. My idea of a snack at the movies is some kind of chocolate candy, maybe some popcorn and a Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb. My choices here were coffee, tea (including hot tea), coke, juice, popcorn, ice cream, chiros, oddly flavored pretzel, but I did not see any candy choice. We went with popcorn and coke. I miss Dr. Pepper.

Our seats were almost at the very top in the middle. I must remember to ask for row H next time, that is the row at the breaking point. We did sit with no one next to us this time. I like my personal space and leg room when I watch movies. I wonder if you could ask for a whole row?

Anyways, the movie was funny and for a brief moment at the end I had forgotten that we were not home in America. It was a nice feeling. Of course after the movie I had to use the little girls room. I found myself praying there was an actual toilet in the restroom. You never know here. I was pleased they had toilets.

After the movies we headed over to the other building to eat supper. So far we had only eaten at Chili's at the department store and someone had told me that the Thai restaurant was good. We found the restaurant and were seated almost immediately. We ordered from the set menu and so we got try a variety of dishes. The food was delicious and so full of flavors. I would definitely go back to that restaurant but I am not sure it is something the kids would enjoy.

After supper we were going down the escalator and on one floor we were greeted by a red poodle just sitting there ever so quietly waiting patiently while his owner was shopping. It still amazes me how you see pets everywhere with their owners always so well behaved.

We then walked home, we passed by the shop where I had bought the kids costumes on the way to the movies and they still had costumes on sale and I thought I should come and stock up for years to come since they were so cheap. On the way home there was not a costume to be seen. The racks were now full with clothing. Wow, that was fast.

It was a wonderful Saturday night.
