    I must admit I’m quite jealous of you Bull… How have you found the portion size to price ratio? The food there does look gigantic, but is it actually as good value as it seems once you convert the freedom eagles over into dollarydoos?

      It hurts the wallet. It’s not a good time to be an AUD wielder in USD land at the moment. They are having their own cost of living crisis and a lot of places food items look like our prices, making them mega expensive when you convert to AUD. Plus you have to add tax and tip.

        Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Even before recent times when prices there were like half of ours, once you convert nd add tax + a tip I always thought it’d probably end up being the same or more expensive

          The last time I was here our dollar was worth more than theirs and their prices still low (2012), so with conversion tax and tip things were CHEAP. Not now that our dollar is only worth 65c to theirs and the price hikes of everything. Those cheap days are gone.
