Crossing the line

Yesterday we ended us a lot busier than we expected, but we also slept in so that did cut into our day quite a bit. The sleep was worth it, so I'm not going to complain.

Other then the small errands that we had to do, yesterday we went to a movie screening with Jose and Edlin, a new wine store which had wine and for some reason nacho chips, then dinner, and finally drinks at the Oriental bar over by the Marco Polo where all the ex-pats drink.

The movie we went and saw was put on at the Sofitel and the producer was there to share some stories and answer questions. Crossing the line is the name of the movie, which is a documentary about an American soldier who defected to North Korea and his story of the life that he has lived over there. It was an excellent movie that I'd recommend to everybody.

After the movie people asked a few questions about the government in North Korea, what it's like to film there, how happy the guy really is with his life there, all sorts of questions that the movie makes you think about. The four of us discussed it pretty much throughout our dinner.

When Tina and I went over to the Oriental bar, we figured we'd stay for a half hour or so, it was maybe 20:30 and there was only a handful of people in there drinking. We ended up there until 02:00, as the producer from the movie and some of his friends showed up to drink. We sat there and talked with them more about the movie, how they ended up in Xiamen, and all sorts of things. It turned out to be a good group of people from all over the world, really a fun night.
