you know the economy is bad when:

when the australian dollar is worth more than the U.S. dollar.



$1 aussie use to buy 70c american, that was normal, now $1 aussie buys $1.05
this is great for bullion investors here, if things ever went back to normal then there's an instant 35% increase for us.

anyway, so I thought i'd give you a heads up on chinese words seeing as though you mght all be speaking chinese in a few years..
