Ok, i just had to drop this short note. Travelers beware: you know how they say your credit card always gets you the best exchange rate? Well, when I was in England, I saw at least one Bureau de Change that was advertising a Pound for a buck 70. Which didn't really seem that great to me. BUT check this out- I just looked at my on-line statement and w/ the help of my handy-dandy scientific calculator, discovered that my Visa was getting an exchange of about $1.82 per pound. What's the deal here?!? If anyone knows, feel free to let me know. Because I find it slightly irritating.

This is but one thing that has irritated me of late; but right now i don't have time for a lengthy post. I also plan to blog later about the rest of my trip. I didn't end up having very much net access after the first coupla days; in fact, the entire time i was in Sweden i couldn't seem to get on-line.

Interesting sidenote about Sweden- at least 3 people I met there told me "Sweden is very modern and almost everyone here has a computer... but I don't have one." That and the fact that i couldn't find a single lousy Internet cafe over there led me to the conclusion that Sweden is obviously living in the Stone Age. The stereotype is true- they really dont have computers there. (hee hee luckily NO ONE in sweden has Net access, so I don't have to worry about provoking a barrage of hate mail). I have to hand it to them, though- the Swedes have a fabulous sense of style. Everything over there is cool-looking.

More info later.
