Being a Hospitality Tourism Management major I found the pub/theatre Roxy to be more inspiring than anything I’ve have ever experienced. It was unique to see the dinner and a movie and bar combination all in one building, which is something that is not popular back in the states. Walking out of the pub/theatre I was so in love with the place and the concept. Everything from the couches to the variety of people that were drawn to it gave me the desire to replicate this type of scene later on in my life.
What was most intriguing was the variety of people who were in the crowd. At every other venue we have been to thus far on our trip there has been a particular age group or style presented. And being young traveling students, we either fit in or stood out like a sore thumb. However, Roxy welcomed everyone. Just as a movie theater back home would attract millions of people from all types of backgrounds, Roxy attracts more than one crowd. In other words, there was not just young students or busy adults who stopped on their way home from work. Furthermore, the mixture of people provided a more relaxed and more comfortable environment, and when the film ended no one wanted to leave. Therefore most of us stuck around with the locals and made a few friends. Also, when the lights were turned back on the majority of the audience was partaking in PDA (Public Display of Affection). The older people were loving one another just as the younger people were. I guess one could say that’s were the crowd had something in common. No matter how old you are, or what scene you’re a part of, there is always the desire to love and be loved.
