>>>When I first came to Slovakia in 2002, I got 48 Slovak korunas for one dollar. Today I would get less then 22 SK.

Slovakia has been one of the hardest currencies against the US$... mainly because they have implemented large measures of economic freedom (compared to their socialist/communist past). Many countries in Eastern Europe have similar success stories. Hope you like it there. I imagine the skiing must be excellent.

“Hope you like it there. I imagine the skiing must be excellent.”

Yes, life is quite nice here.
A huge amount of new construction going on, and no PC crap here.
Oh, they even have nativity scenes in the center of old town.
Imagine that in a city like SanFransicko

Many great pics are here:
