I agree on both accounts. You scared me there at 6.37 USD. I had to check on google, and it confirmed a safe 7.8. I was thinking the 65 kuai drinks at Park 97 are now 10 bucks instead of a safe 8 and a half. Thank God for 4 kuai beers at Lawson's for the cab ride.

Mike, learn to read. The post clearly says the RMB 50 note in the man's hand is worth $6.37. Not that the RMB is equal to $6.37. The RMB is nowhere near the value of 6.83 to the US$ necessary to make your statement correct. You have it backwards. The RMB is roughly US$0.013. YOUR math sucks. And you probably have body odor.

Stick to journalism since your math sucks - how do you figure that the RMB that equivalent to $6.37? Around $7.83 is probably more realistic.
