Eat, Pray, Love, Eat and Eat some more...

Yesterday evening, we went to the pictures to see Eat Pray Love. We'd actually planned to be a bit naughty and go to one of the big cinemas and sneak into a showing of Inception too, but we ended up going to the wrong cinema... You see, if you want to sneak into a couple of films you need to go to the AMC on 34th Street or the Regal Cinema down near work, but we made the mistake of going to the AMC Cinema on 42nd Street instead - they've got security.

Anyway, we remained law abiding citizens and very much enjoyed the film. Abi's just finished reading the book and I heard there was quite a bit of food in the film, so it was win-win. It was a good film, the cinematography of all the different countries was beautiful and the food looked absolutely delicious, it made me feel incredibly hungry and made me want to go traveling around the world.

The music in the film's brilliant too, there are two new songs by Eddie Vedder (the singer from Pearl Jam), and songs by Marvin Gaye, Neil Young and Sly & The Family Stone.

It was a bit girly (so it might not be Tom's cup of tea), but there are parts that reminded me of the Alchemist, and there were lots of times through-out the film that made me remember that I suppose we are doing some traveling right now, we're experiencing new cultures and new countries and exploring places we've never been to before - just because it's not Thailand or India doesn't make it any less adventurous. Although the beaches in Thailand look a bit nicer than the beaches here!

  1. A friend had recommended this book to me saying it was her favourite book of all time so I'm reading it right now! What a coincidence- looking forward to finishing it whilst travelling in Italy...

    Food might feature in our holiday too!
