exchange rate

Also, should probably mention this. Mom was right, Copenhagen is really expensive. It's on a Krownish currency, like Prague, and all the prices look similar. For example, in both places a cheap beer is 20 kroner. However, the Prague exchange rate is 20 kroner to 1USD, while the Copenhagen exchange rate is 5 kroner to 1 USD.
Let's just say I haven't paid for my own sit down dinner yet. I got lunch from a stand the first day here and have had two meals provided by DIS. Other than that, I've only been eating grocery store food, which isn't cheap either.
