American elections and financial crisis - who cares?
A very good thing with the timing of this trip is that I am saved from all ther media hype about the US elections and the financial crisis. I have seen BBC for half an hour the last ten days, Polish newspapers don't appeal to me so I really don't know a lot. I do know that the Polish and Ukrainian currencies have taken a beating from the crisis, which basically is good news for the traveller, although the Swedish krona has also dropped so some of that benefit is lost in conversion.
It is interesting to see how comparably easy it is to drop these addictions. The tobacco is still hard, I feel this big loss now and then. I have managed to switch off work almost completely - and for me that has never happened before, even on the short vacations I have had work has always been in my mind. And this news addiction is almost gone.
The need to communicate with family and friends is not gone though =- and that was never the intention anyway. My warm greetings to all of you.
