I cannot get over just how expensive life is here in Europe. My first was when I changed 20 american dollars and only got back 14.30 Euro in the Canary Islands. Yea i know, I got screwed. A coke was 3 Euros! 16 ounce. I know they are touristy places, but when I finally arrived in Rome Italy, I stayed at M&J Hostel and got a room and paid 90 Euros per night! The bathroom was out of order 0_o
But since i was not prepared I had to take it. So many illegal immigrants in europe pushing things to sell you that you do not want and will not take no for an answer! the government in Italy is so messed up. Unemployement is almost as bad as it is in Spain... I really wonder how these people live!
The Euro seems to be falling due to the Greek crisis, but I am realizing really fast I be struggling here.
