When I was in Italy the rent was 100,000 Lire and two cartons of cigarettes.

A friend got a hand-tailored 3-piece suit fro 5 steaks and 3 cartons of cigarettes....

IMO the perfect laboratories for analyzing Communism vs Capitalism was/is Germany and Korea.Same people,same culture,same history...different political/social/economic systems.

Both East Germany and North Korea built walls to keep their people in.Both West Germany and South Korea were stable,peaceful and prosperous nations....their citizens had it far better in *every* way than their brothers and sisters on the other side of the wall.

The people of East Germany were able to pick up West German TV and radio.I don't believe that North Koreans have the ability to see what's going on in the South. IMO that's important to note.

Is that one of the high-priced areas? I lived in Bakersfield for about a decade, haircuts there were about $14. In Tennessee I think they’re barely over 10.
