I was back to the movies to see Hero, the not so new martial arts movie with Jet Li. This movie is for people who like the new style of martial arts movie, with lots of emphasis on the form and respect for the art, mixed in with the fantasy style elements of fighting. It is subtitled which helps you focus more on the film and get into the story. The use of red, blue, white, and green serve as a backdrop to illustrate different versions of the tale that is being told. The views of the Chinese desert and mountains make me want to go to those regions of China and see them for myself. This movie is available on DVD but I recommend seeing it on the big screen.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
