Meeting #8: Name´s Bond … James Bond!

DSC_7241Finally! After years of waiting for the 4th movie of Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming´s iconic figure James Bond, he returns a last time to fight against “Spectre”.
We all were really looking forward to see this movie so we just had to watch it together. It was also yet another cool place to do one of our meetings. So after having something to eat at Fynlaisons, where we repeated the stuff of our last lessons, it was time to enjoy some classical british action.

But even the intro of this movie led us directly back to our topic, to learn more about Mexico, its  culture and language. It starts in Mexico City at one of its most famous and also somehow for us European guys a bit creepy celebration days. Día de los Muertos – The day of the Dead. Followed by an amazing haze in a helicopter through the city. I won´t spoiler the whole movie now, but I highly recommend to watch it! So after the movie we had a lot to talk about on our way home and one of the main points was
– Día de los Muertos. Oscar explained us what Mexicans are doing on this special day and what it means to them. Basically it is said that on this day the souls of the dead return back to their families. But this is no day of sorrow. It is much more a celebration of live, to honor the commemoration of the Dead.
