Going to the movies, Swiss-style.

Last weekend I went to the movies, Swiss-style, with some friends.

Step 1: Finding a movie theater playing the movie we wanted to see in the language that we wanted to see it.

Step 2: Ordering tickets online, scoping out the seats and picking our row and seat of choice and hoping that there were still enough seats available that we could sit altogether.

Step 3: Paying 22 CHF for aforementioned ticket. Dieing a little.

Step 4: Going to theater. Realizing that we also needed 3D glasses, which did not come with our 22 CHF ticket.

Step 5: Purchasing 3D glasses for 3 CHF. We got to keep them!

Step 6: Locating the correct seat in the theater and settling in.

Step 7: Watching movie in the quietest theater ever. The movie was in English, featuring both German and French subtitles. This is Switzerland, after all.

Step 8: Having the movie abruptly stop in the middle for a 15-minute intermission.

Step 9: Finishing movie. Yay!

The end!
