could barely read menus and speak to the MCD people.

 

 

When you bought this bottle of Evian water were you speaking American Engrish?

I think most of that is city or tourist pricing. I've been to Czech Rep. a few times and price of beer has been stable. Still cheaper than water, especially at Paris Bottle water prices of 4€.

 

Welcome home James. We missed chu baby!!!





Lol at the frenchbread pizza comment.

 

^ liking that avatar photo grillman.

 

france is particularly expensive.

I spent most of the time in Orlean and that is definitely not a tourist location.

 

I lived in Spain for close to a year and half and it is definitely cheaper than US. I also vacationed in Italy. The one thing I noticed about Europe (er Southern Europe for the most part) is that food and beverages are general very inexpensive and not comensurate to what we pay in the states. I am speaking about the nontourist areas, not Madrid/Barcelona/Rome etc.

 

How many years has it been, and was the U.S economy in total sh*t at the time? I can't imagine vacationing in Europe not costing an arm these days.

 

I've taken into account the euro and the economic changes of our country when I made the statement. The cost of going out and having food/beverage is a much smaller percentage of one's earnings in Southern Europe than it is in the US.....and I'm not talking about fast foods.

Pre-euro there is no question.

I'm only speaking for Spain and Italy.

 

when i lived in florida, **** was mad expensive there. errbody drives ferrari and lambo and have a mustache

 

I spoke with an american who was in a study abroad program in spain. He flew to Paris for the weekend just to check it out and was shocked at the prices. He said the drinks he was having were double that of Spain, and we were at an irish pub drinking beers (1664 beer for $7 euros there)

 

I should show you guys my expensive report.
So far its over $6k and the car rental and second hotel bill aren't even on it yet rofl

 

Before the euro in Spain, a mixed drink was equivalent to $.40-.60. It was ridiculously inexpensive.

 

I agree
been in spain back in 1999 and things were cheap.

Italy was the same as well before the euro and recently after

 

Attention drunkards!

Nugget Nectar is out and available in an area near you.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled discussions.
