Sure it’s strong against 3rd world currencies, who cares

I just pulled out some USD I had because I’m going to Vegas next week, fucking $780 US is $1070 Canadian :lol

Japanese Yen?

It's just the USD that's strong. Canadian Dollar VS other major currencies for the most part are trading around the same range for the past few years.

I just looked we're at normal levels for EUR/CAD ~1.45ish. I've gone to Europe at 1.6 years ago and it sucked. 1.25 a couple years ago was awesome.

Even GBP/CAD is around ~1.75. First and only time I visited the UK it was 2 to 1 which really sucked.

We're kicking ass against Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea. I think that pretty much covers 90% of the developed world.

What's shocking to me personally is SGD/CAD is now 1.03. If you had told me that the Singapore dollar would be worth more than the Canadian dollar 20 years ago I'd have told you were delusional.

He fully albertan when he trades in the supra for a one-ton diesel truck modified to roll coal.

So I’m bored.

I looked into taking VIA rail to Edmonton on a sleeper car and it was relatively affordable. 1300 bucks for two people with meals included.

Seems like a fun little trip for me and spy balloon to take over the holidays.
It’ll take 1.5 days of travel to reach Edmonton but I think that’s perfect amount of time to enjoy the sceneries in the Rockies.

After arriving back in my home town I’ll show her where I grew up, where I fought my first whitey, and where JR LA ROSE stole my fucking toys !!!! Yes I was in the same class as that CFL guy.

Then eat at the lingnan cuz why not (I look like that miles guy) and go shopping at west Edmonton mall.

Should be a fun little trip

noclue 11-24-2024 11:21 AM

I ate at lingnan on one of my YEG trips cause it’s Canadas oldest westernized chinese restaurant or something but I thought it was so-so. The american chain panda express which is also in edmonton tastes better to me lol

Also downtown edmonton is starting to rival the DTES so be careful

Thought a baller like you would be on the rocky mountaineer

What type of class does $1300 get you? I’ve watched quite a few YouTubers do this trip or a portion of it and it seems like there’s 3-4 different classes and 2-3 different sleeper arrangements

From the videos I’ve watched, dunno if this is going to be up to spy balloons standards :lol

Poverty class. :ahwow:

Badhobz 11-24-2024 03:47 PM

It’s one step below the prestige class. Or maybe it was the prestige class. I forgot.

Either way it seems relatively cheap for a fun little choo choo ride. I might even be able to get 10% saying that I used to be a conductor trolololol

She did tell me I can go choo myself cuz she’s not really into slumming it up in Edmonton or eating at the lingnan. Even better ! I love solo trips.

Hondaracer 11-24-2024 03:51 PM

Yea so probably a room with the 2 individual beds across from each other I believe which is not bad. These trains seem to be slightly better than the long haul Amtrak you can take

Some seem pretty painful though like New York to Seattle lol

Badhobz 11-24-2024 04:02 PM

i was going to spend most of my time sitting in that sky cab car with the panoramic view of the mountains.

I wanna see the shit my people built. As a conductor the furthest ive ever gone on the rail was to boston bar. We had to crew change off afterwards and head back to vancouver.

A lot of hobz died blowing up holes so that hondaracer can run thomas the racism train right across canadurr. I heard the spiral tunnels are quite amazing to see. Plus with the snowy mountains, it should look quite striking if the weather holds.

yray 11-24-2024 10:40 PM

isn't there a rail strike coming up soon :troll:

BIC_BAWS 11-25-2024 04:01 AM

Again? There was a rail strike over the summer LOL. I asked Hobz if my intermodal shipment was affected

Splurge for the Prestige Class

Badhobz 11-25-2024 12:07 PM

I would but it doesn’t seem like worth it for such a short trip. If it was to Toronto sure.
