这句话说的有理的。反正我回国都不买衣服的，100$跟1000RMB也差不了多少，但是多了个零感觉好像贵了很多。再说样子也很少有看得上眼的。

The Body Shop 价钱这里也还好啊，我也没看英国的Body shop 有什么promotion之类的，可能错过了吧

不是说习惯成自然,自然不习惯么

以前加满一次油$20多,现在动辄快$40了,也只能见惯不怪了

以前看CA的油比我这贵,还觉得正常,现在我们这的油价貌似已经奋起直追了,可是工资水平却不涨啊

Is it possible that your gas tank is twice as big as your old one?

Maybe you can replace your car with a SMART....still as a transportation tool, but a lot more gas efficient. lol

而且我发现在国内1000RMB花出去异常的容易,在美国花$100还能觉得自己是买了点什么

加拿大的消费水平相比起来怎么样?据说加拿大的消费税很高是么?

貌似没有变过,现在的车还比以前的开的车还要省油呢,比较有超前意识哈

再换就改自行车吧

其实油价上涨,倒是推动了公交业了,不过我们这里的公交业及其不发达

Canada的消费水平跟美国差不多。Merchandise 跟 restaurants 都还算是comparable to the States. The sales taxes are EXPENSIVE! It is 14% in Vancouver. 7% GST (Federal Government Sales Tax) and 7% PST (Provincial Sales Tax). Absolutely outrageous! However, when a visitor departs Canada, he/she can file the tax refund to get the GST taxes back, but only on hotel and merchandise, not on restaurants and services.

I have a gas guzzler, but I don't care really care. I am gone quite a bit, and don't really drive all that much.

I finally took out my sports bike from the storage tonight. 想要锻炼身体，可是一年多没用了，两个轮胎都没气！把我给气翻了。只能以跑步来代替。

我们这里的public transportation 也是非常pathetic. You literally can't get anywhere fast without a car. 没办法，被ripped off 就 ripped off 啦~~

Educate me please....what is "MCD"?

饮料 (pop)没有refill的。喝水都喝玻璃瓶装的Sparkling water ,可能是想英国人的假绅士淑女风范吧，还有carbonated mineral water, yuck! Don't care for those. I drank beers, cocktails instead. 赫赫~~
