After cooking class tonight, a few friends and I decided to go see a movie at the only theater that plays English-speaking movies. As odd as it might sound, it was almost a relief to just watch a movie in a theater...and have it in English! Haha. Other than the fact that the movie was really cute (although the title was very odd-- "Happy, Thank You, More, Please"--at first, when I had been seeing advertisements for the movie all over the city, I had thought that maybe it was just a really bad translation... I had no idea what the movie was about...or that one of my favorite people from my one of my favorite TV shows, Josh Radnor, would be in it!)... one of the characters in the movie reminded me about something that I think I will really miss when I leave Sevilla; walking to get from place to place.
Although I've mentioned this before, I hate it and I love it. I do get really lazy here sometimes and not want to go places because I think about the walk I need to take to get there (well, technically I could also use public transportation but I never really bother; I figure that I might as well walk because it will only take a little more time since buses have to stop so much, it's free, and I'm burning calories haha), other times it's just nice to go for a leisurely walk to get to places... It can be relaxing. Anyways, the girl in the movie was talking about how she didn't want to move from NYC because she wouldn't be able to walk everywhere anymore...which got me to wonder if I would possibly want to live in a city some day. I never really pictured myself as a "city girl", but after being here I have noticed all the pro's of city life: free or cheap transportation (I get to look forward to rising gas prices when I get home... Yay!), exercise, proximity of shopping, restaurants, gyms and other places...cities have it all! It's still something I can think about, of course, but an interesting new insight that I think will be important to think about some day :)
