Theaters in Australia are amazing!

Rachel:

Kurtis, Lauren and I went to see "I Love You Man" last night at Village Cinemas. I was so excited to go to a movie because I haven't been in ages.

First difference is that you pick what seat you want to sit in. Since Lauren bought the tickets a couple days ago, she picked the three seats in the middle of a row, back row! Cha-ching! Best seats in the house, reserved just for us!

So we wait for our food in line (like in Canada) go upstairs and head into the theatre. I was shocked how nice the seats were (suede!), they had huge armrests in between so you don't have to fight for arm space, huge space in front of you and carpeted floors (no sticky floor)!

Just when I thought that nothing could get better than that, they announced that they have a snack bar at the back if anyone was hungry! You didn't have to leave the room to get food. Amazing.

Now, this was a regular theatre. I found our that there is something called "Gold Class" theatres at Village Cinemas that have:

- reclining seats

- table in between seats so you can share food

- a blanket

- a personal waiter who will serve you food (nice food, like restaurant food) when ever you want

- a lounge to hang out in before you go in

My mind was blown. I am definitely going to the movie more often and I refuse to come home until I experience "Gold Class" movie watching.

Canada can definitely learn something about movie theaters from Australia.

Australian word of the day: "Booze Bus" - like RIDE in Toronto, its police looking for drunk drivers.
