A Little Piece of Heaven

This weekend, we found a little piece of heaven...right here in Abuja!  A few of us decided to catch an afternoon movie at the new theatre in town.  Amazingly enough, Abuja has a couple movie theaters and they are not to shabby.   The movie theatre is located on the fifth level of an almost completed mall.  Once we arrived on the fifth floor,  we forgot where we were.  The Silver Bird looked just like Tinseltown...the crazy carpet, the smell of popcorn and even an arcade.  Khalid, Chris and Jordan decided to go see Inglorious Bastards  while Lauren and I went and saw Julie and Julia.  Even though Nigeria is known for their power outages, the movie was not interrupted once.  We all felt very rejuvenated after our stint at the movies. 

After the movie, we walked around the mall and we were amazed to come across a book store.  The best part was that is was open.  Abuja has no bookstores, so this was very exciting to us all.  The store was amazing.  It had a wide selection and had reasonable prices.  All it was missing was a coffee shop. =)  

The afternoon turned out be a very pleasant experience and left us feeling hopeful of Abuja's future.
