I don't like it. But maybe that's because I'm a spoiled American. When I went to France 4 years ago, my dollar went REALLY far, as in I got almost all of my souveniers (sweatshirts, hats, etc) for only about $40 american. I got a really nice hand drawn charcol drawing of me done for around $30 American (about 200 francs) At the time, the american dollar was between $6-7 to the Franc.

When I went to Ireland last August, it was $1.75 to the Euro. My money went real fast then.

Johnny, I've heard the same complaint from my cousin when she returned from France. She had been working as a teacher in Lyon. Prices went way up, salaries did not.
