On the way down to ASDA today a very nice man stopped me for directions to the Great Western Road. I was unable to help him. He did, however, ask if I was Canadian so I guess that made my day. Apparently I have a "canadian twang" that reminded him of Toronto. He then gave me his condolences for the idiot shrub and went on his way.

Why is it that foreign currency always is more interesting than dollars?

It's pretty romanesque here too. Plus as an added bonus the money feels more like a receipt in your pocket.
