Juri - interesting thoughts about the currency exchange. I once read an article called the 'BigMac Index' - it listed the cost of a McDonald's BigMac in every country {grin} and that was quite revealing. It is surprising how expensive it is in Paris - but Norway and Switzerland are really a shock, even with the strength of the USD this year. I have really enjoyed working - and now living - in Europe since late '89; seeing all the changes that have taken place here; learning, at times painfully - that there exists a completely different cultural view than the one I grew up with in the States. We had a similar feeling when we moved to San Francisco in 1980, Jury - the boom culture of Silicon Valley; the gay culture of The City. -Steve
