The laws of Taxis

Since it was a 3-day weekend, Kristin and I decided to man-up and actually do something. So we went to the movies. I know, I know we should just settle down...that's SO adventurous. But little do you know, it actually did turn into an adventure...at least I thought so :) Going to the movies can be just as fun as zip-lining in Monteverde.
Tito, Kristin and I stood out at the bus stop (in the rain, but that's a given) and waited for a bus that never came. Then we decided to be proactive and pay up and just take a cab. There were no cabs. Eventually we flagged one down--it took a while though. Why is it that when you desperately need a taxi they are nowhere to be found? And when you don't need one they're clogging up all the roads--there's just an excessive amount? Well anyway, we made it to multiplaza and since we got there an hour before the movie started we decided to window shop. Kristin was hoping to dress shop but every store we went in (or tried to go in) was closing. Literally they were closing the big gated doors on us. How rude. So we met up with our friend Marijke and she told us her frustrations with her rabbits and how they eat her phone chargers. So she went to a store in multi to get electrical tape to psuedo-fix the cord. Then we got popcorn-dulce (caramel corn, SOOOO good), nachos, snuck in a few snacks and ice cream and were ready to watch la pelicula. Tito was upset for a bit because we weren't watching the robot boxing movie, but I made him pull himself together. We saw Something Borrowed, which is a great movie to watch if you are a huge fan of cheesy, unresolved love stories. It was funny, don't get me wrong, but it was such a typical chick-flick. As I expected. Eventually the movie ended and Marikje parted ways in the last taxi available outside the theatre. So Tito, Kristin and I made the trek around the  mall to the front  entrance to find a taxi. Oh there were a few, but they kept going past us in the roundabout. Sometimes because they already had customers, other times I really didn't know why. So we waited. I thought it was funny. Tito was a bit sleepy though so he just wanted a taxi to come. Eventually one came! I prayed and it came. Gotta love prayer (when you get the answer in the way you want it!hah). So, as they say, all's well that ends well! Movie nights are fun, adventures are bound to happen when there's transportation involved, and chick-flicks will always be chick-flicks.
