Movie Theatre Love Seats
I went to see Constantine with my friend kara yesterday in Kumamoto City. Since it was opening day, it was probably going to be busy, so they had the seating chart and we were asked where we wanted to sit. There was three rows in the middle, prime seating, that only had 3 seats in each. Interested, I asked the staffer about those seats. We were laughing at this point because we sort of knew what they were, and also the language factor. So anyway the staffer explains that they are indeed date seats.
We thought about grabbing a date seat, but then we were told that they cost extra. Besides, we weren't on a date and Constantine isn't a date movie. So even though we thought long and hard at the novelty of sitting in date seats, we turned them down.
But when we got into the theatre, the seats looked way to inviting to pass up. They were these two-seater "love" seats, with tons of leg room and table space for drinks and food and stuff. After not even 5 minutes in the seats we payed for, we moved down and stole the date seats. We reasoned that no one would stop us because we are gaijins. Ah yes, the all important and oft-used gaijin card. It goes anywhere you want to be, don't leave home without it.
