Yup, if the Dollar keeps falling like this, then pretty soon tourists from all over the world will come to the US to fuck $2000/hour pornstars.....that'll be cheaper than a 50 Euro S/F in the RLD....
I already have my eyes on a couple of them....;-)

Similar to the USD I have been watching my valuable pound note, a premium amongst currencies, become the equivalent of the European lira. It is depressing to watch my the FX rates eachh day looking at the tourist rate fall day by day as the bad news roll in.
All the wondrous trips that I have planned for this year will cost that much more in a tighter monetary environment. Shame.

It's bloody typical that it all happens now and I'm flying out Friday. Seriously, anyone know of some cheap bars, preferably tourist friendly and in walking distance of the Rembrandtplien?

Difference between the upcoming depression and the 1930's US depression is that there will be a run on the dollar rather than a run on the banks.

Slashing interest rates and letting the dollar plunge through the floor is a ploy by the US government, to enable them to use their gold and foreign currency reserves to pay off their staggering debt at a favorable rate. The sub-prime credit crunch is just a handy excuse.

Maybe its my imagination but everytime I visit (over the last few years) the Dollar hits a "All time" low. I cannot recall the last time I read something about the DollarĀ“s rebound against any currency. Last fall, I went to Canada when the Dollar hit a low against the Looney...
IMO, I predict the Euro will climb to $2.00 in the next year or two,, we will then think,, remember when it was only $1.69
A funny recolection from my November trip was when I was sitting across from the Heineken Brewery,, thinking to myself,, wow, here I am in Holland, paying almost $2 more per pint than I pay at my local bar in the states. Even the Gouda,, much cheaper in the USA (made in Holland)
Something is wrong with this picture,,, guess what, the girls are still much less expensive than taking an American girl out for ONE dinner/date!
