Yay for local culture! The other night, we were invited to the premiere of the movie ‘Journey of Life’, a film made by young Tawang people. We spent three dollars each on the entrance fee, something that entitled us to sit on the nice couches pictured below. The plastic chairs were a dollar less. Everybody else sat on those. Embarrassing but hey – we even got bottle service (well, I had one bottle of beer).
The movie itself was a surprise: a healthy old-fashioned slap-stick comedy, starring two slobbering country fools that stagger around Tawang town, messing up royally wherever they go. Even though the movie was entirely in the local Monpa language, we had no trouble following the ‘plot’.
Unfortunately we had to leave after an hour because the ear-splitting sound effects were so loud that we had to stuff napkins in our ears. Good times.
