But I was thinking,
I'm getting a ticket for one, so what are the chances?!
Got to the ticket booth with adrenaline rush telling myself not to get disappointed and try again tomorrow, and I got it !! There were only 13 tickets left after me, what luck !
And they asked me, "Student ticket? 5CHF"
I was like....."Err yea yea, student ticket!" But we all know I've graduated with my student ID card expired but hey it would've been 10CHF so why not !
It felt like I received treasure after waiting in line for 30 minutes !
(and check out the Ben & Jerry's free ice cream voucher, amazing !!!)
They didn't tear the voucher away from my movie ticket and at the ice cream booth it stated,
"All you can eat"
So thinking that I could eat more than 1 Ben and Jerry's for free...... how awesome is that?!
got myself another one right after the movie ended wohooooo! But they started collecting the vouchers after so maybe it wasn't meant to be "All you can eat".... oh wells, I've got nothing to complain with getting 2 free B&J's ice cream !
The doors opened at 7PM, and there were other stalls selling alcohol, pizza, drinks and so much more! Getting a bottle of water was 5CHF which I thought was expensive...but they gave us a token that if we recycled at the end of the movie we'd receive 2CHF back, gotta love the recycling culture here :)
"Hidden Figures" was such a good movie though !! Definitely a 10/10, and going to the cinema alone meant that I can sit anywhere with a good seat cause I didn't have to accommodate with anyone else having to sit next to me.... and I got myself the front row seats with those beach-y chairs (dammit, should've taken a picture but you can imagine it)
Also, check out the subtitles... it was in French and German since Basel speaks kinda both though mostly German, which I found to be soooooo cooooooooooool
It was definitely a great experience and would do it all again, Basel has so many things to offer so glad I'm calling this place "home" for the next few months :)
