Dude. That's really not cool. Especially with all the damn places she could have gotten it exchanged.
Ohio? Damn near impossible to get your money exchanged once you cross that border. It's very irksome. It's like we should take their money here, but if you suggest the opposite? Oh they spazz.
It's irksome. The mere *idea* that someone would walk into Goderich, nowhere really near the bloody border and expect to be able to pay with what is, despite what they seem to think, a foreign currency? Is baffling. And irksome.
It really is annoying! And there are 4 banks on The Square! Ok, it was Sunday, so they were closed, but they had plenty of other chances to get their money changed! Our banks do perform currency exchanges, even in Goderich.
Yes, that's right! It's foreign currency! You can never assume that your money will be accepted in another country. It's like trying to pay with Turkish lira. Some places in town will take US funds, but it's usually the motels. Get traveller's cheques if you don't want a ton of Canadian cash.
But it's cool to have other kinds of money!! O_O I mean, don't people like to have other currencies? Every time either my parents or I go out of the country, I always make sure we get extra change. (And American money is ugly , but we're getting some color! It's looking (slightly) better!)
Yes, (I don't want to sound like a snob, honest) your money is getting better with more colour. It can just get confusing as it is now when it's all one shade, you can't tell what bill's what. I like our scheme of blue= $5, purple= $10, green= $20, red= $50, brown= $100. It's just quicker to tell how much cash you have one you.
I have a couple of Australian coins and we have a Danish coin in the till at work! Other money's so neat!
Yay for colored money! Why can't everyone have a color-coded system? It's much better than memorizing presidents' faces. D:
Don't worry, you don't sound like a snob. I was always kind of sad that American money was so...dull. Pfft.
I have random Canadian, Korean, and Japanese coins, and I had some Francs. I'm kind of sad that I didn't get more different kinds before Europe switched over to the Euro.
When I'd visit the States I'd always make sure that I had my money organized by bill amount so I'd have to fiddle less, but that was a pain when you were shopping during the day.
Do you have a twoonie? I'm convinced it ranks in the top 10 coins in the world. Mostly because it's called a "twoonie". Spelling it out looks really bizarre and not how it's actually pronounced... I'm going to be saying "twoonie" all night now!
Why didn't they start a DVD for the whole tour of all the funny moments? Why?!
Biohazard stickers...that'll be the new "thud cushion"!

David makes everyone/thing iconize-able. (Inflatable horse! ♥) When he and Carlos are together, it clicks, too! (Not as well as with Urs, of course...)
Il Divo - talented multi-tasking singing sex symbols. I believe you've found out the name of album 3!
But at the same time David's really good for you! It's exercise for your abs! And good lubrication for your eyes since most times I'm bawling while laughing.
hehee, your icon makes me happy too! it's so funny! *lol*
That woman is a jerk! ARGH!! I hate selfish yankees!! People like Bush "we're a big country, we speak english, I don't have to learn a damn thing, you learn english, we solve all with wars, you have to take our money 'cause we're yankees" [/whine] frustrating... >_____> I'm glad she didn't met me xD
That video was hilarious to watch and David doesn't stop laughing. He cracked right up. Awesomeness.
Yeah, there's definitely quite a bit of that. We get tons of great American tourists, most of them are fabulous people, but every so often you'll get the very self-absorbed, "I'm American" types.
*nods* nice amaricans are just fun and awsome, but those who think they own the world just 'cause they're american... well, why on earth they leave their own country if it's so fabulous that everythign should be like in there??!!
AH! AMERICANS! Let me tell you a story. Last summer I worked at African Lion Safari. All was well and great, I hated the people I worked with but I hated nothing more than the people who came there. One sunny July 4th afternoon, I was going towards the Parrot Show when this man and his kids and wife and god knows who else approach me
( ... )
Oooh, that's hilarious! I mean, come on, why would we celebrate the Fourth of July? It makes no sense. And you're at the African Lion Safari for god's sake. Fireworks + wild animals = um, idiocy?

Haha!
He does! He's absolutely perfect. I'd give David a biohazard ticket too. I love how he's so clever on the spot.

David should come with a medical warning: Extremely bad for your stomach. May cause stomachache due to chronic laughter.
