visit regrets and $ ramblings

[limeex2]

Hey you guys up north had a great run! For years there would be bus loads of Canadians heading south to the mall in Bangor Maine loading up on "1/2 price goods"... Now it's the exact opposite. My buddy just drove back from Canada with a new truck pulling a new car trailer with another new truck on the trailer and two new snowmobiles in the back of the trucks! Now your stuff is "1/2 off"!!

but I do feel you on the double conversion rate, ouch! (CA to JMD to USD). On the places that are asking for USD, can't you just say you only have JMD and what the Jamaican price is?...

Reminds me I need to plan a Nova Scotia/ Montreal trip!

How did your buddy get title and tabs on his new truck, trailer and snowmobiles? I would love a new vehicle. In regards to places that charge buy the dollar vs JMD, money talks. If this upsets you don't frequent the places that use this practice. Tell the establishment your indifference to this practice. Tell your friends. Tell this forum. Man ,with ATM issues, street vendors being closed, government crackdowns what is happening to our beloved Negril?
