here you go exchange rate...would you like me to put the money on a silver platter for you as well?????

alright i knew the exchange rate was high. i knew it coming over here from the start but this is getting ridiculous. i cannot even believe it. for whatever i buy over here DOUBLE is taken out of my bank account. to of had a suffient amount of money to come over here and live for a year i would have had to have worked 4 or 5 jobs that paid an insane amount of money. it would of been physically impossible. i just wish that we could go back to the barter system. "give you a chicken for that pretty shawl" it would just be so much easier.ugh. oh well my own fault right? not coming more prepared (be a millionaire) to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. but then again i could go get a job but the only job that would work with my school schedule would be work on campus...but nope cant do that because then you get this fun line thrown in your face "we dont rely on students to make our uni run...it doesnt work like it does back in the states"....oh my bad. alright anyways i am done venting about weakness of the american dollar. here is a picture to make up for my frustration....
