Bread price.

[elNarr]

I eat rye bread daily.

It's like one of those national finnish foods.


White bread loaf costs around.. 1.20 €
Rye Bread is around 1.00 €.

 

[Mr.Lukyas]

Comparing to the world, we aren't expensive. Not at all.

Our countries are probably a lot wealthier than yours. Thus, we have to pay more. It kind of sucks that the Netherlands is part of the European Union. The wealthier the country, the more you pay to the Union, the less you see in return. The poorer the country, the less you need to pay to the Union, the more you see in return. Thus, we pay a ****load of stuff, and it gets send to poorer countries (Poland for example)

 

[Mr.Lukyas]

The problem is we are not in Union (YET, just yet)

 

[Sicron]

Still it means you are a relatively poor country. Products in your country are also relativly (compared to us) cheap. But then again, I think your average year salary is also way lower than in, for example, the Netherlands.

Also, the Euro kind of sucks. The only benefit it has is that you don't have to exchange your currency in a couple of countries. Downside is, well, before we had the Euro, we had the Gulden. The exchange rate of the currency was 2,20371 Gulden = 1 Euro. So, you'd expect that something that costed 22 Gulden, would cost roughly 10 Euro's after we changed our currency to the Euro. Well, it didn't. Anything costing 22 Gulden, would cost 22 Euro or more. Basicaly, after the change, everyone had their income converted to Euro's and everything got twice as expensive.

Countries who are part of the European Union agreed on this when they have joined, right?
