Living in St. Petersburg, Russia, the rise in the dollar sure makes my trips back to Canada more affordable. And looking at the Euro I find it bizarre - when the Euro opened and dropped from even with the USD to 92 cents, Brits said the Euro was no good and they would never join such a weak currency. Then when the Euro bumps to 1.25 USD roughly, the Brits say 'oh, the Euro is terrible, we would never adopt that..what would it do to our exports?' So currencies fluctuate, people have to adjust..what else is new?
