In this hilarious clip from the movie "Eurotrip", 4 Americans are stranded in Bratislava and only have "$1.86 American... what are we going to get with that?"
Yes, international currency exchange rates can be quite ridiculous. Case in point.
In Sri Lanka, I had a dinner of...
A Caiparinha with my appetizer of duck liver pate on wheat toast triangles with balsamic vinaigrette.
An entree of 4 of the largest grilled "jumbo" prawns I've ever seen (I swear they were lobsters) over garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and locally picked baby tomatoes.
A dessert of white and dark chocolate mousse served in a chocolate bowl.
By far the best meal I ate in Sri Lanka. The total cost including tip was.... 802 rupees.
That's $6.13 "American".
The Grand Hotel dinner buffet in Nuwara Eliya which would EASILY rival any Las Vegas casino cost 1050 rupees... or $8.03 "American".
Makes paying $5 for a Big Mac back home seem a little pointless.
