Over the weekend Julie and I celebrated 100 days left in Romania. We decided to treat ourselves for the occasion by going to see a movie. We took maxi-taxis to meet up in Bacau which is a hour and fifteen minute ride from each of our sites. Our maxi-taxis arrive at the same bus station 15 minutes apart; my maxi-taxi got stuck behind a train so we arrived about 3 minutes apart which was even better. We were super excited because The Hunger Games came out in Romania at the same time as it did in the rest of the world. We both read the trilogy last winter as the series circulated through the volunteer community. Most movies in Romania are subtitled in Romanian (not dubbed) so it's even more cushy for Americans. It was a lovely spring day. I felt a little silly going inside to see a movie, but we walked slowly and stopped to get lunch along the way, so were outside for a good part of the afternoon!
The movie was a great adaptation of the book! We didn't realize that the movie is over two hours long so we had to hustle to get the maxi-taxis back to our sites, but all in all it was a great way to celebrate getting closer to the end.
