We were waken last night at about 4:45 to the building shaking. Turns out there was a 4.3 earthquake with an epicenter only 10km from our hotel. Having never experienced a earthquake, and having just moved rooms to the 4th floor of our hotel we were a little concerned that a larger one may be coming… but still we just went back to sleep. Apparently quakes of this size only occur every 6-7 months. So that's another first for us…. Ticking earthquake off. ;)
Last night we went out and saw a Bollywood film titled “Om Shanti Om”. Going to the cinemas here is quite different to back home. It's a mix between going to the airport and standing at the front of a night club beside the speaker system. At first we were put through 2 separate metal detectors, then frisked down and bags searched. They confiscated my shiny new camera. Once inside we had the joy of watching ads played several times in a row before the film. After the first dance scene, I am sure that if there is a legal limit on sound level it defiantly wasn’t being obeyed. It was louder than all night clubs of been to. Although the film was in Hindi it didn’t stop us from enjoying it one bit. It was surprisingly easy to follow. I could even feel the tears building up in parts. Amazing what can be conveyed through the language of the body.

Yay for Bollywood
