It wasn't long before I realized that different money changers offer very different rates and if you do your homework right, you can save up to a whooping RM100 or more. Confused on how to calculate rates at money changers?

I was recently invited to the Johnnie Walker food and whisky pairing demonstration held at the Food Studio just a few days ago.

The appalling traffic condition that hammers the city during on-peak hours (AND off-peak now, thanks to the on-going MRT constructions) only rubs salt into the wounds.
