This past Tuesday, Caitlin and I headed down to the Uptown Theatre to watch Tsotsi , a film about a South African thug living in a township. It was really interesting to see a movie from a South African perspective and hear some original African music. Overall, I haven’t enjoyed a movie this much in a very long time.

After the movie, I still had some of the African music stuck in my head, so I downloaded a couple of songs. Those few songs weren’t enough, so I went on a hunt to find the soundtrack today and eventually found it after searching through 4 music stores. However, it was almost $30 and I knew that I could save a few bucks and find it somewhere else. When I arrived home, I did a search on the iTunes music store and it was available for only $9.99. Now I’m rockin’ to some African music with my first-ever iTunes music store purchase!

Yesterday, Caitlin and I headed to Banff for the afternoon to enjoy the hot springs and take a look around the town.

Our first stop were the hot springs where the water was 40 degrees celsius, quite a difference from the air temperature of -1. It was quite relaxing since we also had a nice view of mountains in the background. After the hot springs, we went to the Banff Springs Hotel and took a look around. Very huge and very nice… which also means very expensive! After our tour of the Hotel, we went downtown to find a place for supper. We stopped at Wild Bill’s and had a great supper. Afterwards we headed down the road to a candy store to get some dessert. Then we headed back home to Calgary and our day was over.
