So Christmas decorations--things like tinsel stars, my favorite!-- went up on the streets and such here just after Halloween. *sigh* I thought it was just the U.S.
Here´s a random thought: maybe with all the christmas shopping that will happen in the next month and a half, the U.S. economy will get a little boost and make a slight come-back on the euro... (wishful thinking, I know.) I´m getting more and more interested in economics and how so many things affect so many other things. (good sentence, eh?) I think I´d like to take an economics class to learn more. At present I know very little.
Also, on a semi-related note, my host-mom told me that because the dollar has fallen so much, people here are taking weekend trips to the U.S. to go shopping. WHAT?! yeah. Somehow its cheaper to fly across the ocean, buy a bunch of crap and fly back. (This is assuming you´re doing some serious shopping, I presume.) What a world. I don´t know what to think.
Look, a short-ish blog entry! go me!
