Vibrating Chairs

Last night at CGV movie theater in Gangnam:

Me: Can we get two tickets for "X-Men" tomorrow?

CGV Lady: Yes, what seat would you like? (in Korea, you get to choose your seat, so she shows us the available seats on a computer screen)

Me: The only seats left are too close to the screen... wait... what are these blacked out seats?

CGV Lady: They're vibrating seats. More expensive.

Me: Ohhhhh... (feeling scared to ask the price) How much are they?

CGV Lady: They are 10,000 Won. Normal seats so close to the screen that you'll be using Wolverine as a footrest are 9,000 Won.

Me: It's $1 more? We'll take two.


This was actually the second movie time we tried to get seats for. I wondered why so many seats were blacked out! Why was this option never offered to us? How poor do I look that I couldn't spend the extra buck to watch the movie while sitting in a massage chair? Can't wait. I'll let you know how it is.

UPDATE: It was good. Also, the vibrating chairs weren't exactly what we were expecting. It was like sitting on a subwoofer with the bass turned way up, so the seats kind of "vibrated" when something loud happened. Interesting...
