I guess you did alright. Just for an account, would you like then to go to some Eastern European country and stay there? Like the one you're staying in now? You see, your impressions as a tourist may be as good as they ever could, but what about living there? By the way, have you come across anything like shortages of anything in stores there? I heard they started running out of some food supplies, because the people are trying to get rid of their local currency in whatever ways they can, having stopped believing in it... (they've been buying up food, clothes, almost everything that is sold for the local currency)
