Cinema Paradiso

Wanaka is the entry to the Mt. Aspiring National Park, but other than that is not much. Did you know by the way that they call Mt. Aspiring the “Matterhorn of the South”? Right, Wanaka. It has 3500 inhabitants, two supermarkets, some other stores, a few bars, and a cinema. A cinema? Yes, a cinema. And not just any cinema.

Cinema Paradiso is unlike anything you have ever seen before. Yeah right? Ok, how about this: Have you ever seen a row extending to outside the cinema? Have you ever seen a car parked inside a cinema? Have you ever sat on a 4th-hand sofa in stead of the typical cinema-seats? Have you ever been prepared to kill someone just to get that last home-made chocolate-chip cookie? No, didn’t think so.

  • Sommige foto’s zijn te mooi! Als je terug komt en je wilt toch niet gaan studeren, moet je maar een bedrijfje in ansichtkaarten beginnen. Of een cinema Paradiso, gaan Isabelle en ik wel koeken bakken…
    De gletschers lijken me heel anders dan die in Zwitserland. Wel datzelfde onaardse, prachtige blauw.
