I was corresponding the other day with
my mother (via e-mail as almost always) when I said something that
struck me a little funny. I had gotten the tires on my bike changed
as well as a patch on one of the tubes. All of that had cost me Q80.
To me, this sort of a small fortune. To you, it probably isn't.
For two brand new tires and a patch on a bike tube, I paid $10. I
quickly forgot mentioning this to my mother until I was cooking
vegetable soup this morning. I recalled how much I had paid for my
vegetables the day before and how stressed out I was over the price.
I knew the guy was overcharging me, but I just didn't feel well
enough to fight him about it. (I've been having some trouble with my
digestive track and needed to purchase a whole new set of vegetables
to deal with the issue.) So, when the guy totaled my celery, 3 bell
peppers, bag of bean sprouts, 2 zucchini, 1 cucumber, 1 eggplant, and
5 avocados and came up with Q28...well, let's just say that in
America you can't get all that for $3.50, but for me it was
expensive.
