300

Hello again,

something i forgot to mention about last weekend: i went to the movies on friday night. Now, that might not sound very special to you. But i was working in a country without cinemas for more than three months, so i am happy to be back. Also, this is what i usually do - or what i usually have done - on friday nights. Going to a movie, having a couple of brews. Well, no beer in cinemas here, and i didn't go with the usual suspects. But still, was fun.
The locals were acting a little strange: Making lots of noise during the whole movie, and 15 minutes before the end, when the main male character had died, most of them started getting up and leaving the theatre. The guy next to me just started answering calls on his mobile phone. Quite annoying. Cinema is something different for them, not so much about actually watching a movie, i guess.
Ah, yeah, and about the movie: 300. Wo-ho. Was fun. Basically just slaughtering, no bullshit, but stylish. Like Braveheart on special effects. I know it's hollywoody and based on an American comic book but Spartans are cool. Or were cool, so to speak. Spartanic, hehe. Love Greeks. Gotta look up that line "Wanderer, if you come to Sparta, salute the 300..." or however that line went - for those of you who didn't know, i studied four years of Ancient Greek language in high school, that is what got me hooked-up on Greece...

Another picture taken last weekend. Promoting the infamous Eurodance in the Middle East. Counter-disco. Well, i guess that's an insider joke nobody will understand. Hah, youth.

Dubai tonight.

Cheers
