driving, but instead of being scared by it,
locals were glued to the screen, watching it as pure entertainment. After
spending some time looking around both levels, I was about to leave just as
the sky opened up and heavy, pouring rain began to fall, complete with
thunder and lightning. People outside ran into the Market for shelter, and
I realized I'd be stuck here for a while.
Walking over to the corner of the market where the phones are located, I
managed to place an overseas call using my Time Kontact card before walking
over to buy a set of made-in-USA earplugs from a nearby shop (for my
upcoming trip on the ship, as I'd be sharing a cabin with someone else).
After buying a newspaper from the downstairs newsstand (RM1/US26c), I went
up to the 2F food court to sit down, read the paper, and have a late lunch
(a good beef/rice bowl served in a clay pot for only RM3.40/US89c).
Looking through the paper, I couldn't seem to find any cinema times, so
when finished eating, I returned back to the newsstand to check inside
another English-language paper -- but still couldn't find any. The man at
the newsstand said "they should be in there," and helped me look through all
the English papers he had, but couldn't explain why none he sold had any
cinema times. "I guess not today," he finally said -- but just a bit later
while walking around, I noticed a man reading today's Sun (one of the
English-language newspapers I had just searched through). When I asked him
why no papers list the cinema times, he instantly turned the page to show me
the cinema listings (the section must have been missing from the papers from
the newsstand). Looking down, the man pointed out the times for the cinema
at the Central Market annex (just across the street), with the two choices
being "102 Dalmations" at 4:45pm and "The 6th Day" at 4:55pm.
