I had a 1000 lire bill in my wallet... in the wallet that was robbed in Paris after the Expo!

And I still feel <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> :eek:



Now does somebody have an old 1000 lire (Italian) bill to send? I cant find them anymore in Italy.. To have one 1000 lire bill (about 0.52 euros or 0.5 dollars) would so far be only way to have a thousand in my wallet.. I felt happier when I had it...



Could someone post me a 1000 l?



Please

    I believe the Lire has been supplanted by the Euro. The last time I was in It'lee (as they say it around here), was in '97. I'm sure though that every store clerk will still act pissed off when they have to make change for Euros.

    I was recently in Turkey on vacation. If you like big numbers, forget Italian Lira. After changing 50 Euro, I had 75,000,000 Turkish Lira in my pocket.

    Too late now. The Italians should have demanded a referendum before taking on that Mick?y Mous? - with apologies to Walt Disney - currency. I read the the other day that the majority of Dutch people would like their Gilder back. As do the Germans the Mark. In Germany it is now called the Teuro (teuer = expensive). And I don't think that the Irish are too happy with it either. In fact which EU country is? The hard reality of a politicians' dream gone (very) wrong, I am afraid.



    Sorry, about your mishap, Mulattabianca. I wish I could help out. How about I send you some real money instead, like SFr. 1,000.--?



    Better luck in future.

    The prices of everything in italy are much higher now than before euro was introduced. in small items we talk about 100 % rise in the price, in bigger 10-20 %. the salaries are the same, they haven't risen. they are still what they were the last year - the prices arent.



    Thanx also to being part of EU, i have now to change my residence on paper to an other EU country for months in order to have the dublicate of the robbed drivers licence (if anyone see that guy in Paris, kill him - for me) - if i wans't in an EU but somewhere else, i would have already the dublicate. Also, changing back the residence will be an other pain in the apple.



    When i will have the first realistic change to get elsewhere to work (like Cupert.. eh, the States) I will go. I'm tired of this "country" in which this country refers to all EU. These are 200 million people living in the same country that speak languages I don't undestand. I was positive about the EU but it didn't bring any more work.. if i want a work i'll have to get abroad - and i will go. There is no kind of stability for work at least in this country, and i'm simply too tired to live any more with the works of one month, two months, three months etc. The incredible rise of prices has been something like in Brazil in the 1980s nearly.. or in Argentina.



    You can't govern one "country" where you have people who have 15 or 20 different first languages, no common language (apart from english that is in practise not enough understood in italy spain, france, portugal, greece etc etc).



    Help me find a work (in the States) and I'll build a 12 feet high statue for whom i'll be grateful to...



    And yes, ZO is not more European than me...



    There are even 100 % europeans, just forget us...







    PS. a bad day, bad humour. i'm generally quite positive about eu as topic but today not. just tired. help me get the hell outta here..

    I don't really have the impression that things have become more expensive, but I might be wrong. We mustn't forget that the world is apparently, very quietly, going through/recovering from/starting into (nobody can tell) a big time recession, plus rumours of war to put the financial world a bit down.



    Don't blame it all on the Euro. And moreover, the EU is not a country, and, probably, will never be. I love the Euro. It allows me to be even more lazy. It has always been so that Europe's more southern countries have known a huge (talking massive here) rise in prices of everything, because the difference used to be very large (especially if these countries were to belong to one and the same economic union). When I lived in Spain, this waitress whom I knew very well made about 110000 pesetas (about 500 euros) which would have been impossible in Belgium, because it's just about below legal minimum wages. In the late eighties, Portugal for example, used to be extremely cheap (much like northern Africa is now), which was actually a lure for northern Europeans (the usual drill: you can eat very much and good with good wine and sleep for virtually nothing). Even when I lived in Spain, (Valladolid, northern Spain) in 1999-2000, I noticed how very good I got round with the kind of monthly stipend (I was still studying at the time) I would've been just good with in Belgium. (I mean, I ate in restaurants, went on many many trips around all of Spain and Morocco, bought crazy stuff and so on). And that's something. There seems to be a kind of levelling to the top.



    I guess that's the prize for freedom, health and security for all. I'm really not someone who would start complaining soon, although I can understand it's bugging people in southern countries, for there is indeed a disparity between the cost of living and the income. These things, however, will meet somewhere in the middle, as they always do.

    The bus ticket was till this year 1500 lire, thats' 0,74 euro. "BECAUSE THE BUS TICKETS COST MORE IN OTHER EU COUNTRIES" THE TICKET IS NOW 1,00 EURO. So a 33 % higher price... jsut because of that.



    This logic has been used for everything that has been able to put up as price. But e.g. if the eletricity and water cost more here than in other countries, those havent come down.



    Also, from those comparisons they have forgotten that one living in Austria or Sweden earns a lot more.





    I used to like euro.



    I used to like Europe.





    When i will find a job somewhere on earth that ables me to live and not only to survive maybe i stop this complaining. I simply need to get out of this country and to find something that simply allows to live. I don't live here anymore. And if i canot get out of here all i'd need to do is change the skin color and work for the campaings "give your money to starving africans" <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> no wait i could start with Calvin Klein or somebody else.. If i quit eating i could have my mac.com address...



    If i'd live really down here (in south) my salary would be about 300 euros a month. As an architect. Because i'm not male, i'm not "anybody" and i am of the wrong sex (female). If i'd be male i'd get maybe even 500. Now, once i am supposed to pay a) rent 2) food 3) everything else... could you calcolate me how long it'd take to get the money e.g. saved to buy a powerbook? No way. Never. Then getting to an other point.. why am i always online? Simple. No money to go out.



    I "love" europe.



    I just want to get out of here, now.





    My ex is a journalist, living in the southern borders of Europe. He's 40 and works for a tv. He earns about 500 euros a month. And normally before the month finishes ends up being 100 - 300 on minus.



    Car? I had a bicycle... it was stolen years ago, i have still two feet...
