Cinema

Our media is limited in HCMC.  We get about 5 English TV channels (which only seem to play Wipe Out, Desperate Housewives, CSI and The Voice on repeat), we are blocked from purchasing media on iTunes, cannot stream on the internet (something about our country not having the legal rights), and even our good old hometown Amazon does not want us to view their movies. 

So thank goodness for our recent discovery:  stores that sell DVD's for dirt cheap.  Yup ... all you have to do is walk in, search through baskets of DVD's, decide which new release you want to add to your collection, pay, and go home with fingers crossed hoping your new movie actually plays in your computer.  The craziest part is that these shop guys must know people in the movie industry because they even sell movies that are still in the theater!  Hello, pop media!
Adam with our recent purchases.  At 50 cents each, it's hard to not go crazy in that store.

It's a crapshoot.  So far only 3 of 5 work but there is still hope.
