Yes, and then we'll have a little ceremony after which you get to enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience of pretending to be a sepoy in Cawnpore after the '57 mutiny. Sounds like fun, eh?
Ok, I need some movie assistance. I am hoping to find the following movies: Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the latter being the one starring Johnny Depp and not the animated crappy version. I can't get them on time from Amazon overseas, the amazon.cn does not stock them and the DVD stores in Linan are, to put it mildly,
. I have been trying to find any online shops in either Shanghai, Hangzhou or Beijing for which I might be able to order them, but with no luck. I know there are some good DVD stores in Suzhou and I am terribly tempted to go there this Friday and browse through their stock. My alternative plan is to find box sets of the Simpsons and show some Halloween specials but really, it would be better to show the movies mentioned above. I am giving the students a copy of Washington Irving's stories (spent three days reading them over and over again and preparing a great big glossary and list of questions for the pupils. Fortunately, Mr.Irving was a genius, so his works are an absolute plesure to read). They watch the movie, read the story and then compare them. So, if anyone know of any good online shops, please PM me the details.
