Yes, there are plenty of fantastic European films out there that I am dying to see, but there is something weirdly nostalgic about going to a movie here in the states. I don't get to do it as much as I'd like (broke student budget doesn't allow for it), but I think it is a really great experience that reminds me of howGracehttp://www.culturezest.org/home/users/detail/?UserHexID=ABF14D61-B0B3-4A97-B343-7A57EC58D038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168771.post-86187318495371974542011-03-28T11:50:10.152+02:002011-03-28T11:50:10.152+02:00Thats for the great article.

Nothing better than a movie in the afternoon. <br />Matinees happen rarely in Norway, only sometimes on weekends, and even so, I am working all day (matinees don't count on weekends, it's not decadent if you aren't skipping work, somehow). <br />Lucky you and your movie day!Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221918459527410952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168771.post-85940029930752435062011-03-15T19:46:41.441+01:002011-03-15T19:46:41.441+01:00There is something quite decadent about movies in ...There is something quite decadent about movies in the afternoon.

The things I don't think of that are probably the every day of the ex-pat life.
