I already knew the conversion rate will be close to 1:1, but reality struck me again at Canadian Exchange Center. It is not a good time to visit Canada, but it is not likely that exchange rate will bounce back anytime soon.
Yet, the Annual Richmond Night Market is waving at us: if we don’t get there now, we will have to wait for the next round in a year. It is not something I’d like to miss, and that decision was 100% correct.
The night market is so much better than I expected (I wonder why some people kept on saying the night market this year is not as good as previous ones?) I got a pair of cute pink Mashimaro car seat head wrap and a couple of T-shirts: one is green short-sleeved and the other is blue vintage v-neck.
The rest of my Canadian probably goes to food tasting. As I am counting my shopping souvenirs, there is really not THAT much. If I remember correctly, I didn’t eat a lot, either. All I remembered was that huge chicken kabob which I spent over 20 minutes to shove down my throat. I was pretty much done after that. Yup, that is enough to be said about the crappy conversion rate.
The night market is ending in two weeks. If you are planning to hit the food, make sure you wear a sweater, as it gets pretty chilling at the night. My lesson of the day: spend Canadian dollars wisely, but everything is worth it at the Richmond night market.
