FYI people getting paid in Euros didn't suddenly get a 20% raise, so the 1 CHF == 1 EUR is helpful to decide not to visit Switzerland or buy Swiss products, not to all of a sudden think that 200 EUR are not so many. If it will be 1 EUR==1 USD that can help Americans deciding to pay but for Europeans it will still feel like a raise, if they compare to previous years. :) Thanks, Guido > All in all: I'd say 200/500 is fine, even in EUR, especially since > accomodation (which includes food) is very cheap at the hostel. > > All your ideas sound great, Marga.
