Oh, I’ll definitely write “Fernanda Bananapants was here” If I ever visit, I loved this idea, haha!

The CAD used to be on par so I’m always wishing it was better, but comparing it to the Brazilian Real definitely puts it into perspective for us!
I’ve always thought the same thing about writing your name on the tester paper because there’s not really too much people can do with just your name, which is all around in any case! I love it when people write “Paul Bananapants was here.” Confidence! And a permanent mark in life! :)

What a lovely exchange rate! Brazilian Real to USD is 1 dollar to 4 reais. Yikes ;(
I never understood why people would scribble their names out. Honestly, do they have a PI after them that they think are going to check for it? Super weird.
Loved the statistics, Liz.
