To the movies

I never really went to watch films when I was younger, I had other things to do. When Milja came along, though, that changed, and I have been a frequent movie-goer ever since, especially in Finland, where we went regularly (pretty much weekly).

Last night, Milja, Minna and I went to the nearby cinema at the Blue Route Mall, where we watched Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn in "The Break-Up". It was a good film... well, up maybe for the first half, up until they broke up and the comedy kinda stopped. But that wasn't the main thing about the evening that I enjoyed - tickets here are remarkably cheap. In Finland, we were used to paying 10 EUR per ticket, although most of the time we paid about 7.50 EUR per film when we bought their 6-ticket packages. Here in South Africa, tickets are just 14 Rand, around £1.10.

What a bargain! OK, so the films arrive here to the screens a bit later than in Europe, but who cares when it costs so little to watch them...?! I am going again soon...
