Ohio
I have been at a meeting in Columbus Ohio. I am staying in the
Holiday Inn just opposite the campus of the Ohio State University.
There is a 7-11 just outside the hotel. This is where I have been
having breakfast and buying my late night beer.
It has been really cold with a wind chill factor. When we walked out
to lunch and dinner, I have not been so cold for a long time.
At meal two days at a really nice restaurant my share was 51
dollars. When I lived in he US, I would have jumped out of the
restaurant window if a food bill had come close to 50 dollars.
However, given the good exchange rate, the bill was only about 25
pounds. This is not a big deal for a nice meal with beers. I have been
feeling like a millionaire. Hello American have a dollar, it is worth
nothing to me.
