W Europe Travel

» Amanda Kendle - Useful Euros!

True, the Euro definitely makes traveling in Western Europe much easier to manage and I can actually have some idea of how much my dinner or hotel is worth! But I still find it a little sad that I can't see what Lira or Deutschmarks look like anymore ... Eastern Europe is still using Forints, Koruna and Zloty but in the next 4 or 5 years a lot of the "new EU" countries will change to Euros and in a way, that's a bit sad!

Hey Amanda,
Yes, I agree that it is sad in a way. It's like everyone learning to speak English. It's nice because it makes traveling easier, but it definitely takes something away from the experience. I actually saved a bunch of the currency from my '98 trip and am excited to check it out when I'm back home. Thanks for reading!
