Day 108 - Sharing cultures
I kinda had a date tonight. The plan was to meet after dinner (around 6:00) and walk down to the Vue in the town centre to see "Serenity". The problem was, it was only playing at 5:00 and 10:00, and none of the other movies there looked appealing. So we walked around the town centre & Oracle for an hour or so, went back to the Vue one last time, and eventually gave up on seeing a movie there.But it turned out a lot better that way. We decided instead to go back to Windsor and watch Malibu's Most Wanted. It was the one movie I brought with me here, partly because it's my favorite and partly because I thought it would be hillarious to show it to English people to give them a funny taste of part of American/California culture. I finally got my opportunity tonight.
Now I can say that I've helped greatly expand the vocabulary of an English person, like so many of them have done for me. Fo' rizeal! She didn't understand all of the jokes, and I had to explain a few words and references, but overall I think she straight up digged it. Now there's one more person in this country who understands what it means to be "down wid da brizown".
It also was quite fun to see her reaction to hearing *real* country music for the first time!

That is so funny, Matt. I remember watching that movie. I thought it was more parody, but if you say it's close to the culture, I'll take your word for it...
