Big Splurge

I treated myself to a dinner out. I went to a nice little restaurant (not Thai). I had Lobster Bisque, a Roasted red and yellow bell pepper salad, Baked fish with roasted potatoes and diced mixed fruit with a little sweetened condensed milk poured over it and a light sprinkling of cinnamon for dessert. My "Big Splurge" cost me just over $6.00 including tip.

WOW! Try that here in the states - $6.00 would cover the tip ONLY!

I took my little ones (I'm and "adopted gram") to see UP and the theater - matinee price $4.00 each (compared to $12.00 usual ticket price regardless of age) - and it cost me twice that amount for popcorn, pop and candy!

The cheapest full price movie tickets here are $3.50. Different seats have different prices and all seats are reserved. The most expensive tickets include 1 hour of hors d oeuvres, a cocktail, a large bowl of popcorn and a soft drink; both are replenished midway into the movie. The seat are very comfortable recliners and include a pillow and light blanket. All the seats in that theater are the same. It's like a private screening. Cost is $17.60.

(glad I didn't pay!)
