First things first, a great deal of respect to the ANZACs. Today is ANZAC day, where we remember and pay respect to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. It's sort of like Remembrance Day back home, but is typically celebrated by a dawn service, a breakfast, and then a day spent at the pub playing two-up.
We didn't follow the prescribed rituals, and went to see Curse of the Golden Flower instead. I don't think I really appreciated the movie, and found it rather dull and hard to follow. Pretty impressive cinematography though.
One other ANZAC day note: some twits went and spraypainted the War Memorial with the message that ANZACs are murderers. Simone told me about an ANZAC who commented that it is a pretty disgraceful and shameful thing to do - and that when the people who did it sobered up, they'd realise that too.
