1,000 US dollars will now only get me 637 Euros...

I still recall 'experts' and economist years ago saying the Euro would never be as strong as the dollar. At least, they would fluctuate between one another.

Not much fluctuation if you ask me.

Thats really the conversion?!?! I'm going to Ireland in July and i suppose I wont be spending much over there. How much is the beer anyway? I guess ill just get drunk all day!

Has Canada converted to the Euro as well?
The last time I was there was in 88 when the Cutter I was on spent a week there.
I always remembered the Canadians as very friendly, nothing like they are on the internet now Im just kidding lol..

Canadian dollar isn't doing much worrying I think

That's ok. I'm bringing back the tally stick.

Cut a notch in the right place and it's an automatic 10,000

I'm glad you added the just kidding part ;o)

No, we have not converted to the Euro, and we never will. Our trade is tied in too neatly with the USA, if anything a North American Dollar is much more plausible. In 88 when you came to Canada our dollar was worth about 65 cents in US dollars. Currently our dollar is worth more than the US dollar.
