Just to make it a little harder: DC13/DC14 also was *on top* and as
of today, 1 CHF == 1 EUR, so we'd actually be doing the same thing
as DC13 again. Furthermore, it is not unlikely that in August, 1 EUR
will be closer to 1 USD than now, given that the ECB is about to
follow US suit on "quantitative easing". The EUR is about to undergo
massive devaluation. Sell now.
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. Thanks for bringing this up. I am
sure I don't need to chime in for us to find names for the
categories or decide which stickers to give ;)
