Went to Anttila and saw that they just got a number of Jackie Chan movies on DVD. Dubbed in English, no less. Is there really anybody in the world, or in Finland anyway, who wants to see Hong Kong movies dubbed in English? As far as I am concerned, if it doesn't have an original Cantonese soundtrack, they can insert it where the sun don't shine, and I don't mean a DVD player.
I've heard that they used to make some movies in Mandarin in Hong Kong in the sixties, but never really ran across one. For such movies a Mandarin soundtrack would naturally be acceptable.
Didn't buy anything.
Today is Runeberg Day, as I figured out from seeing runebergintortut everywhere. A runebergintorttu is a cylindrical pastry with some jam and white sugary stuff on top. Considered buying one out of pure curiosity (never tried one), but, as usual, didn't feel up to it. They just don't look appetizing. On the other hand I have once even tried a laskiaispulla which looks much worse, and survived.
