Day 43: The Dark Knight
On Friday we got on an air plane and headed out to
Fortaleza. Something I like about travelling in Brazil is that security is not
as annoying. It was forever to get through security in the United States, but
not as long in Brazil.
Getting enough taxis to take us to our hotel took a while; I
don’t think the girl at the front desk understood what we wanted. When we finally got to our hotel, it was
really interesting. It had a small kitchen and living room; we hadn’t had that
in any of the other hotels we have stayed in.
Later that night we went to watch The Dark Knight Rises. The
theater is inside the mall. In brazil, the women dress up really nicely to go
to the mall, so my friends and I did our make up and put on nicer clothes so
that we would blend in better with the Brazilians.
It was interesting because as we were standing in line, a
guy was like “I like your hat” to my friend Mitch; he was wearing a BYU hat. I automatically
thought that was weird, and then he started talking to us in English and he
said he graduated from BYU and that he was doing some work for his masters in
Fortaleza. We talked to him for a bit and it was cool, the small world
syndrome.
The Dark Knight Rises is definitely not my favorite movie,
but Brazilians seem to love it. They really love anything that is very American
it seems.
