It's like a crazy adventure, this currency thing. It makes my head spin. Just as I'm becoming quite passionate about shopping locally and connecting more to my community, I'm about to travel zig-zag style across the US for two months, I make my salary in a foreign currency, and I have family spread across the continent.

+1 on that one! I guess now would be a good time to buy all those things I've been lusting over but have had too much conversion-sticker-shock to actually buy.
