No Problems Here...

So here's what's going on in Europe right now:


And here's how the Germans feel about it:


Oddly enough, the people at work don't seem terribly concerned about this, even the Germans. It might have something to do with the age range and lack of financial holdings of the typical grad student and post doc, though, because other Germans seem to care. News about the debt crisis is on the front page of the newspapers most mornings. Anyway, should be interesting to see how things work out. Also, if you're planning on visiting Europe, now would be a great time. The exchange rate is extremely low (1 Euro = $1.376). When we got here it was about 1 Euro = $1.45 and when Keith was in France in 2008, it was 1 Euro = $1.56.
