Cinema

'Cinema' to me normally means itchy seats with minimal legroom, overpriced popcorn and massive movie theatres. However, in France it seems to be slightly different... Firstly, we had to buy a general ticket and then queue up again to exchange it for a film specific ticket, which was all a bit odd. Then when we went into the theatre, it was a tiny room not much bigger than my living room where there was a massive scramble for seats. Although the seats were incredibly comfy with lots of legroom! What topped off this weird experience was a man walking past every aisle with a tray full of M and Ms that you could buy if you should wish to. I became 'Strict Au Pair' and banned all sweets as I didn't want to inflict the pain of three hyper kids on everyone else in the cinema!

 I was also slightly weary about going to watch Despicable Me 2, not only because it was in French, but because I haven't seen the first one and have a bit of a reputation for not really understanding films. However, this film was hilarious and now I really, really want my own Minion...
