banks

We went to open an account with a Canadian bank today.

It wasn't exactly like 'Bowling for Columbine' where Michael Moore gets given a free gun for opening an account, but the background music that they had on while we were there included 'Armed and Extremely Dangerous' by The Three Degrees.

The main difference between the banking systems is that here banks charge by the number of transactions, and there is a fee for drawing money out of bank machines that belong to other banks.
