I think they have trouble with where to place decimal points.

Well that explains the why. Now answer the "how."


one of my best friends moved there because his wife accepted a position with a non profit there

he just started to leave his car doors unlocked so they would stop busting out his windows

when I asked why he didn't move to a better neighborhood he just laughed

beautiful area though, he sends me lots of pics of his weekend hikes

Chinese. Endless waves of Chinese.

Say what you want about the Mexicans. At least they eventually end. There are more Chinese in a single province than in all of Mexico and Canada combined.

$8 in Canada is only $6.23 USD. They're getting a DEAL!

I toured one of those high-rises last year. 2,000 s.f. 10-12th floor. Runs about $2M Canadian. About $1.6M US.

Nice views but damn....where to put my Primo XL was a prime motivation to not buy it...ha...

A quick internet search makes it appear that they use the total cents per liter and not dollars and cents. It should be $1.609/liter.
