La Fiesta y el cine

At the mall in San Pedro, a district within San Jose, there is a movie theatre that offers new releases on Wednesdays for only 1,000 colones (equivalent of two dollars). So, today my friend and I decided to walk to the bus stop and take a city bus to the mall to see our first "Disney Latino" movie. We ended up missing the stop at the mall, and we had to get off at the next stop and circle back. Therefore, we did not make it in time to see Entangled. However, we did make it in time to see Megamente (Megamind). This one was a little bit more difficult to understand because it was rated PG instead of G. However, we were able to follow along fairly well. I was impressed that I was able to understand so well after just a week and a half of intensive Spanish.

Today was also La Fiesta Crash or Crash Party at Universidad Veritas. The party was held in the main courtyard at the university. It was an attempt to have International students and Costa Rican students intermix. There was a lot of dancing, decent food, cheap beer, and my new favorite soda... Red Fanta (a Costa Rican specialty). We also got to see some really good Tango and Meringue dancers as well as a Costa Rican band with its own professional dancers. For not being a very good dancer (although I am starting to take Tropical Dance classes) it was still a good time. Unfortunately, I had to return to my house to start studying for my Spanish midterm. I cannot believe I am already almost half way through my intensive Spanish classes!
