Here in Germany, every al least seems to have become more expensive.
The problem is, the people are / were so accustomed to the D-Mark, they have some problems now re-calculating . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I mean ... 1 Euro has the value of almost 2 D-Marks.
The worst thing was in the very beginning : A *lot* of shops just kept the price ... they just left the price signs where they were, and wanted to be paid in Euro ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />
That could be a reason why everything seems to be nowadays more expensive : Forgotten price signs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
On the other hand, everything looks so cheap ... "only 5 Euro ?". But re-calculating, it's almost 10 Marks ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
It's interesting how perception works. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
