I just got back from the mall after looking at the prices at the food court. $40 CAD for a 10 piece bucket of chicken at KFC with 6 side dishes. That is roughly $29.25 USD. Just to give you a little bit of perspective, a cotton T-shirt at Uniqlo costs $29 CAD. Lol.
And in Japan, a 6 inch pizza with 1 topping is ¥1,000 yen, which comes out to roughly $6.4 USD! That’s a small slab of processed wheat with tomato sauce, cheese, and only 1 topping!
I guess pegging one’s currency to the USD wasn’t such a good plan after all!
