Going to
the movies with beside themselves in excitement two ten year old boys! Had to
sign a release and show their government documents to prove they were of age (10)
to watch the movie and were able to sit in the audience unsupervised. Mega bucks
were doled out at the ticket counter and even more at the concession stand. Popcorn
and a big soda amounted to R$16.75 and the boys insisted on having their own fumy
bag of corn and cup of bubbly carbonated sugar water. Their tickets were
R$10.50 and the adults ran R$21.00. Just like N America
where you have to stop at the bank for a loan to get into the movies and buy
snacks! There is cotton candy (“snow candy” is printed on the plastic container
label) sour sticks and a few chocolate bar options yet nowhere near the rows of
sugar coated selections back home.
The
Shopping Center parking lot was packed but one level in comparison to the Mall
parking in the States. Many Lookie Lous and not many shopping bags spotted
throughout the aisles in the Mall.
Offers
flooded in for places to stay in the Twin Cities in the last few days which are
much appreciated. My discombobulated Resume is coming together thanks to a lot
of help from great and loyal friends. Having to deal with my lack of higher
education blues (again?) and sorting out the bad habit of jumping into yet
another industry or arena to add to the enigma of my life. One of these days I
will figure out where I am going and what I will do for my right livelihood! In
the meantime I continue to eat popcorn and chocolate while reading a book.
