I propose to write a few lines on a special subject so that everybody will train and express its mind. Today I deal with my experience on Euro:

"At first, I was both happy and puzzled. Happy , because using new banknotes was great fun with new colourful banknotes and fresh coins. then puzzled because I had lost my traditional scale of value. I ignored how much a baguette was and at the end of the month, I used to run out of money. That was not a problem for so did many people!!.
Things got worse because I moved to Scotland for a year and I had to use pounds, I used the convertion rate between Francs and Pounds , for 1 pound was worth 10 francs. That was quite easy then!!
Last year I had to use my euros again, my bank got mad because I was always confusing those three currencies!! I had to pay severe penalties, and I am just a student, poor and miserable (LOL).
Now I am totally independant, I have my own flat, My parents are no more spare banks!! I take my wages and write in euros the amount of my spendings and checking my credit in Euros!! Things got easier, I feel much better, so does my bank!!"

Ok now it's your turn , what about Euros?

Good luck and make it cool
