I went into this book store today, found this really cool Winnie the Pooh book in Chinese, lol... And they were selling it for $11.00!

That wouldn't have been THAT bad if it didn't say "$32.00HK" I mean, that's about $4.00US, even less, actually...

LOL... um, let's see.

Winnie the Pooh book in Chinese in store= $11.00 US money

Winnie the Pooh in Chinese in Hong Kong stores= $32.00 HK money

About $8.00 HK= $1.00US

Thus, the book in HK is actually $4.00 US, yet they're charging $11.00 US, meaning they're making a $7.00US profit PER BOOK!

Got it?
