Today I had my fourth movie-going experience in Korea and, as per usual, it was fantastic! Feeling inspired by David Letterman's list making ways, here are my top ten reasons for loving Korean movie theaters.
10. Getting to ride an escalator up to the movie theatre floors from the concession stand --like Rainbow Theater in London, ON.
9. Being able to bring in would-be contraband goodies without scoffing from movie theater employees; in fact they have vending machines stationed just outside of the theaters.
8. Visiting the nearby arcades before and/or after the movie.
7. Having a chance to see a movie after hearing reviews from home since English movies often have a later release date here.
6. Sipping pop through a straw in the "couples" pop lid which has two separate straw holes on different sides of the lid.
5. The hook on the back of the chair in front of you, so that you may hang up you purse or man-bag with ease.
4. Relaxing in the most comfy movie theatre chairs I have ever sat in.
3. Not having to deal with noisy movie-watchers coincidently placed right behind you or extraordinarily tall people right infront of you. Koreans aren't known for either of these traits.
2. The delicious "sweet popcorn ". They Unlike theatres at home, they cook the popcorn which particular flavours (original, sweet, cheese and onion) rather than using popcorn shakers after its popped.
... and the number one reason I love going to movies in Korea...
1. Reserving your seat when you buy your movie ticket, much like when we buy tickets for theatre productions at home. That's right, you pick your seats ahead of time allowing you to walk in two seconds before the movie and get your favourite spot for movie-watching.
