the exchange rate. sniff, sniff

i'm watching a show on HGTV and this woman is looking for a house to buy in amsterdam for 215,000 EUR or "equivalent to $260,000." wtf??? when was this show made??? i went to the bank today to prepare for my trip to europe (which, btw, is NEXT WEEK!!) and bought 200 euros for $309!! [side note: you have to PRE-order euros in fargo. you can't just walk in and get a lot. they might have SOME, but not many. forget about getting anything other than GBP or EUR. ahhh, life in the midwest.]

260,000 / 215,000 = 1.209
309 / 200 = 1.545

sniff. sniff, sniff.
