buy movie ticket online

I would say the e-commerce in China is really flourish. I am buying on taobao regularly. I am an amazon.cn VIP. Yesterday when I was searching the info the movie Avatar, I saw some movie ticketing sites. The biggest two are wangpiao( http://www.wangpiao.com/ ) and gewara( http://www.gewara.com/ ). At least I saw the kiosk. I tried wangpiao. It offers real time seat selection. The purchase steps is straightforward: select the seats, provide the cell phone number, and pay online. After a couple of minutes, the ticket code or 2D scan code is send to your phone. Now all you need to do is, go to the theatre, print out the ticket on that kiosk with the code.

Avatar

All of sudden in later 2009, when I browse some websites, I see the strange blue animals banners. It is human-like creature in another planet (looks awful similar to my cat). Ever since this movie is in theatre, it becomes literately the iPhone in Hollywood movie industry. It has been said this Avatar is an epic for movie industry. Somehow, I get the impression that this is a movie that you don't need 3D glasses to get the 3D effects. How cool is that! The director who directed the Titanic waited several years for the technologies readiness. It is all fantasy, no politic, so very quickly the movie is played now in China. It starts at midnight of Jan 4. I took half day off, booked the ticket online, and watched this 160 minutes long movie. The movie has three release format - IMAX, 3D and regular. I guess IMAX is the best option, but only in a IMAX theatre. I watched 3D version. The theatre staff hands out the glasses very carefully, saying that each glasses worthy 700CNY, break it

Happy New Year 2010

2010 is here. When I saw on TV all the people mountain people sea to celebrate new year countdown, in such as chilling weather, I knew I am not young. It is just another routine trip that the earth turns itself around. People wants to have a new start, give themselves a good timing for excuse, and think, let's start over and make some new year resolutions. Why I said so, do fishes know about it is 2010? They just swim in the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium. Go to bed at 10, and get up at 10. This is nice part, to have an extra day to oversleep.
