Dollar Days

In Malaysia we always make comments about the value of our currency. A dollar or ringgit can't get you very far. Even a packet of nasi lemak from mamak is at least RM1.20. The last time we were home, "cham-ping" was RM1.70 and char siew pau in Ipoh was RM1.30ea. *sweating* If we see dollar to dollar (RM vs CAD) here's a list of what some dollars can do for you in this freezing planet.

  • Vitamin C x 100 (250mg) - CAD2.00
