  1. It was slightly more valued (up to the record of US$1.07 for every CN$1 last November, then it fell and stayed between CN$1.00-$1.03 for every US$1 for the past eight months now. It's very stable now. I always watch the exchange rate because my parents put money in my US bank account and I use a Canadian ATM to get some fat loonies at the best exchange rate. You could get an hostel in Canada, which is about $20-$25 per night. I know a very good one right in the old city of Montreal that goes for $20 per night. It's an awesome hostel and it's in a 18th century stone house built during the French days plus a more "modern" wing behind it that has the beds...but it was a 19th century barnhouse converted for hosteling for youths (actually, there is no age limit there...so people like Gary and Benji can stay there as well). It's right in the old city! Old buildings are just steps away around you and you can see the river in 10 minutes by walking. And downtown would only take 10 minutes by foot and metro. As I said, if you leave it to the expert (ME!), I can help every GA to keep your spending to the minimum. You can easily live on CN$50 per day which includes one night hostel, a couple good beers at a pub or a club, and a couple lunches. Dinner is expensive however...you would have to spend $25 per person (drinks and the meal). Of course, you can have a good Vietnamese rice noodle dinner for just $6 in Chinatown. I am not counting shopping money. You'd have to pay like $40 plus 13% taxes for a pair of jeans at American Eagle or $20-$25 for a t-shirt. If you stay there for three days, I can get you a $19 tourist card that will give you a unlimited access to the metro and busses for three days (the tickets cost $2.75 a piece...so it's a good deal!) The downside to this is that some of you may have to fly to Montreal, which means you would have to get a passport (if you don't have one). It cost $105 to get a passport. :s I won't mind going to the USA for a meeting, but I just want to make Canada look easy to reach to. It's not like Europe you know.
  2. This is where the expert comes in again. The US dollar has been slightly over the Canadian dollar since November. It's pretty stable now with the loonie.
  3. *cries* Dammit.
  4. You won't have a problem as long as you listen to the expert. Me. It was only a suggestion. I am trying my best not to have that image in my head. Keep me away from those casinos. I costed my dad $60 the last time. At least I still kept the free $15 that the casine gave me for free. And I have no way getting to those locations. I don't have a car...remember?
  5. We'll smuggle you to Canada so you can drink *legally* with Joe. The water will freeze my fat balls off. I barely noticed I was walking through a gay district. I was wondering why so many rainbow flags and...oh...the obvious came to my mind. And I'll rock youse's world by taking you to the best cheesesteak place in the whole city. Reading Market. I'll teach you to speak the lingo: Wit cheezewiz or widdout cheezewiz? And watch your accent and comments. This is why I didn't vote for Mitt. A huge insult to PA pride. My other suggestions. Since GA did West Coast in 2007 (San Francisco). The heartland in 2008 (Dallas). It would be nice if you guys move it to the East Coast for 2009 (and go a little further north than Dallas and SF). The new passport rules for land and water borders will come into effect June 1st, 2009, but I suspect most of you will fly...so you'll need a passport (required today now) anyway. Canadian cities I would suggest are Toronto or Montreal or Quebec City. Toronto sucks, but there are enough stuffs to do in a day. Montreal is certainly a handful to do in a day...especially its nightlife! Quebec City is good enough and you'd see plenty of famous spots of the citys. In the USA, I would suggest Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. Maybe Pittsburgh...I dunno, I haven't been there since I was 12 years old. :funny: Don't be silly! The groundhog is in Florida enjoying the sun and making holes at Gary's backyard.
  6. You're old enough to be my grandfather. >.< Ok me is going to shut up for now.
  7. Shit... I'll have to work harder to make you hate me. And 135 pounds!!!
  8. Look on the bright side. At least we're not calling you "ancient".
  9. It works. I hope you work too. Gary: Do you really need a reason to hate me?
  10. And then you freak out and lose 'em pounds. Well, some of them. I never gained any pounds during college. Still a constant 135lbs for the past few years now.
  11. Mine is always blue. It reflects this flag. And... Neh! Changing eyes. I like.
  12. Ahhh my fellow deaf GA. I can't see how one person sees you have blue eyes. If he wants blue, he should look at mine. It's cute.
  13. I propose Montreal (duh!!!!!!!) And I'll show you all a club. Montreal is a total party city. Plus, Joe would drink legally for once.
  14. It fits in mine. A couple years ago, I wrote this for everyone to consider buying my boyfriend for a quarter. Needlessly I didn't sell him afterall.
  15. Because because because...
  16. Real-blood children. Don't ask me how I could do it. It could be by old-fashioned way or in the lab.
  17. Hmmm.... then you buy his ass. While I'll buy this one for $10,000.
  18. Enlighten me. If you're free, can I marry you then? I just need someone very experienced to pass my genes around.
  19. Bon Anniversaire, Old Bob. J'esp
  20. Now you see we don't even have rattlesnakes like out in the desert of Nevada?
  21. Never had any roaches in anywhere I live.
  22. Yeah... Keep your toothbrush and cup in the closet or covered up.
  23. I meant kitchen sink. Even the bathroom sink can get dirty. Flush the toilet and water droplets will go all over the place. If you keep your toothpaste out on the counter, it'll go on there and the...bacteria from...you-know-where...will go on it via water droplets.
  24. It'll get dirty back again. There are things that you cannot see really.
  25. But the sink is not sterile, so the urine will get rotten fast.
