Title: Going Away...Pics of the Cat Fast Ferry
Post by: Capt. Matt on July 15, 2009, 20:20:11
Hi Guys...
Well I will be going away for 6 weeks beginning saturday...the 18th. First I will be headed to Ottawa Canada where I will have a computer...a fast one...but I wont be on as much. Then after I am there for 4 weeks I will fly off to my Great Uncles Island in Nova Scotia where I wont get to see the internet...
So I will notify you all of any other changes :thumbs:

It depends in which country you were born & living.

It depends in which country you were born & living.

When I went to New York City in May, I disliked using American dollars mainly because I never used them before (Canadian dollars are much easier to use).

Just like I said - if you were born & living in USA - you'll like American dollars & dislike the Canadian ones...   
It's obvious. ;)

At least I've used American dollars, so if I ever return to the States, I won't have the trouble using them.

Not to be rude but american money is so boring the newer bills are starting to get a bit of color but the Canadian bills are colorful and look nice :thumbs: But like Wave Music...or diamant said you will most likely favor your home counties "things" :thumbs:
