Family fun for a tenner

This afternoon was our first cinema outing as a family, to watch Mr Peabody and Sherman. As there is precious little to do on a Friday afternoon, especially it being off for most local people, the theatre was packed with people and their food parcels. (I'll talk about makan another time but if always seem to feature heavily in whatever goes on in Brunei). This did not bother us, though, since we had had change from £10 buying three cinema tickets, so we decided to join them with a family combo.

The film was quite funny, and most of the modern cartoons it had something for everyone. Phil and I giggled at the great one-liners, and Sofia held my hand at the scary bits. The various references to the historical events should tickle the interests of various age groups.

There's really no reason not to go to the cinema at these prices - and you're not really ruining a sunny afternoon as they are all sunny. Besides, there's surely no real reason for the extortionate ticket prices in Finland and the UK alike? When has it become acceptable to pay £5 for a small bucket of popcorn? So one (more) thing to enjoy here! While it lasts, of course - watch this space after April...
