Our Japan trip is confirmed. We will be away from May 20-27.

Ytd, both of us did a foolish thing. We went to money exchanger @ Chinatown. Without asking much, we thought that high rates were better so we did a negotiation on the spot for every exchanger, found the highest quote and asked for higher rates. Happily changed it.

When they printed the receipt. I saw that there are a (/) instead of the usual (x). While we stared at the receipt, I felt puzzled. Stupid fools like us.. Yup, by right, should be asking for lowest rates. They must be laughing to themselves.. To think we thought the only chinese exchanger was out to cheat our money by quoting the lowest.

Thank God that exchanger was okay when we demanded for money when he cant quote the rates.

Lesson learnt. Always do your homework, always ask. Be alert!
