euro

that guy who found the incan mummy in peru just got back from a trip to that country.
apparently he missed his return flight and ended up having to buy a whole new ticket for $700. sucks ass. he's got a return flight that needs to be used before april 30th, but i doubt it'll get used.

but anyway, that wasn't the interesting part.
he said that in peru, and probably other countries of south america that they used to stockpile the US dollar because of its stability.

but now, the government has proclaimed all $100 bills counterfeit and everyone's switching to save up on the euro.
so everyone with the dollar got fucked.

i'm sure that's just a glimpse of things to come.
the inevitability that the US is going to have to acknowledge the stronger power that is unified Europe.
and all you fuckers had faith in China.
they aint got their shit together...

amidy was also telling me that europeans are being pushed to recognize themselves as "Europeans,"
rather than by their individual country.
i'm trying to decide whether i want to move to the netherlands, ireland, sweden, or spain.

You know there are really only two correct answers to that question.. neither of which are listed as your possible choices.

You may move to either Norway (which would be your best overall pick I feel) or Iceland (I'm not certain of their participation or lack thereof in the EU, honestly I don't even know which continent claims it, but it would still be a superb place to live).
