Bon Jour! Guest Blogger, Sarah, here: This is what $60 US dollars looks like here in French Polyenisia ... here they use French Francs (?) ... SIDENOTE: In France, they use Euros (Û) ... what? ... Okay so basically, ?100 French francs $1 US dollar (I think) ... which, when you look at your "wad" of French Francs and you see that you have "?6,000" you think, "Alright! I'm IN THE MONEY!!!" ... well, you've got $60 bucks (US) .... On the other hand, when you sit down at a "Chez Restaurant" for some lunch (dejuner), very slight anxiety sets in when you see a pizza costs ?1400 ... it actually is $14 bucks (US) ... hmmm, "Pardone, je brain mal .... Tu est take American Express?"
