okay so, i am told that the united states of america is the most powerful nation in the world. i mean in every shape way and form (except when it comes to running marathons). but you name it - going to war, hundred metre dash, best film in a foreign language? usa! usa! usa!
then why the hell is the exchange rate of the us dollar to the british pound 2:1? how does that make sense? europe is doing the us because buying a plane ticket, vacationing and going on a shopping trip in new york is a much better deal than shopping at home. and me? i am planning a trip to england (and other parts europe, if it is affordable) and i want to weep. i am not sure i shall be able to afford to leave the airport.
my first trip in that direction is planned (fingers crossed et al) for april so i am praying very hard that i win the lottery. that windfall of american dollars just might get me a bar or two of cadbury's chocolate...

You could try Eastern Europe. It's relatively cheap compared to the West, but try not to pay much attention to the bad post-Soviet rap it gets. It's all about the experience.
that's a great idea... though i would have to tell friends and family to move to eastern europe... it seems i shall be visiting them in between my chocolate binging...
