Drats! Car is being repaired.
Exchanged some Australian money for Dong yesterday and learnt a valuable lesson. I went to one of those window exchange places in the city as the line at the bank was too long. Oh yes, he was all very chatty with me, talking really fast and making jokes that I couldn't understand from behind the glass because he kept turning his head away from the microphone. I was so focused on trying to laugh politely at the correct moments that I couldn't really concentrate on anything else. And yes, I did make the joke about holding the big dong in my hand. We were having a merry old time, or so I thought. So he counts out all the money and hands it to me. When I finally get back to work I took a moment to calculate how much I should have received with the current exchange rate, and he'd stolen 30 Australian Dollars from me!
