Yes, that's the one! We're redoing much of our house and down in the basement they have a wonderful hardware selection. We had a great time buying faucets that even if you could find them in the US would cost a small fortune. Best part was the threads match those on our existing plumbing.

Speaking of remodels and more good buys - we got a Blanco sink in Germany for $200. Same model here is about $650.

Also ... I've been finding just through eBay that tennis rackets seem to be a whole lot cheaper in Canada. My tennis coach says it wasn't like that when he lived there but I just bought two rackets - a Dunlog 200G and a Babolat Pure Drive - for 25 percent less than I could have gotten them in the US.

Interesting story toxa. How I would have loved a reporting assignment like that one.
