Date Night in Nuremberg

On Saturday evening Brandon and I decided to go to Nuremberg and just have some fun. We needed to use the internet, which we use Starbucks for and there was a movie we wanted to see, Zweiohrkuken, a romantic comedy. It ended up just being a comedy of errors and not quite the experience I had in mind. We went to 3 different Starbucks before we found one with space to sit down. After about an hour we decided it was time to eat and went back to an Indian restaurant we had passed on the way that wasn't too far from the theater. We were seated very quickly and then sat and sat, then we had to ask for menus then we sat and sat. I went to bathroom in the mean time and realized there was no toilet paper in the entire restroom. Argh! Then back to table and more sitting. Finally it was just getting too late so we just left and decided to go to the theater. I had seen in the movie review paper that the theater was a multi use facility with restaurants and other things so we thought we would try our luck there. We only had an hour before the movie started so we bought tickets and headed out to find food. We came across a diner but it was full and there were people standing around everywhere waiting to pounce on an empty table so we didn't see that working out. We also saw another restaurant but didn't think we had enough time so we exchanged our tickets for a show an hour later. Here, they assign seats for the movies and the only seats open were in the first 3 rows and in "camping seats" the girl said. Well, it didn't sound good but they were cheaper seats so we went with it. Then we headed back down to the restaurant to give it a try. After sitting for at least 1o minutes the waitress came to take our order. Then it was forever before we got our food so we scarfed it down in like 4 minutes flat and rushed up to the movie. The theater actually was quite a lot smaller than I expected so sitting so close was perfect and the seats were just like reception area chairs so they were kind of comfortable. The movie ended up being pretty good too. Pretty funny and even though I didn't understand a lot of what they were saying, it was pretty easy to follow. So the night kind of redeemed itself after all.
