<p>[quote user="DRfan"]</p> <p>Italy is suffering since joining the Eurozone as well.  I lived there during the late 80s and married my wife there.  Back then, in southern Italy, you could bargain at the markets and prices were very reasonable even for the locals.  Once the Euro was introduced, prices went through the roof on just about everything and the standard of living has dropped.  Young people are leaving my wife's village searching for a better life in northern Europe.  </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>... and so is Spain, Portugal, and France. And guess where all those people leaving their countries move to? Germany would have joined the ranks of those countries as well, hadn´t the exchange rate selected at the time of the introduction of the Euro been set at an artificially low level. Adding to that, we have seen a massive reduction of wage levels, all the way down to a value of the mid-1970´s!</p> <p>The Euro has spelled disaster over Europe!</p> <p>Enough of that!</p> <p>Please join me in a cab ride in an ICE 3 (Bullet) Train from Frankfurt to Cologne. Top speed during that ride was hitting close to 200mph.</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-w705q3dCGE" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Tomorrow, we will be a lot slower, promised!</p>
