Is everything OK, Madam?
Well, I'm trying to buy some foreign currency for my holiday.
I can help you with that. Holiday, you say? Lucky you! Where are you going to be travelling to?
We are going to Macau to visit my niece. She said it's better for me to bring US dollars, is that right?
That is one option, Madam. If your are travelling to either Hong Kong or Macau we are permitted to exchange up to 1, 000 USD for you.
OK, I see. What's the exchange rate? Is the dollar up or down?
Today's rate is 823. 71 RMB to 100 USD.
To be honest, I have no idea about these things! But I'm sure that's alright.
