All kinds of great coffee and lattes in Europe. Only problem is it will cost you (American) $10 a cup
Other cultural *experiences* even more expensive

Looks like its Tapas for dinner! Even though they too can "add up" if you order, say, 10 raciones plus a bottle of sherry, they are still cheaper than a full dinner at a restaurant in Madrid.
I figure I'll be counting on an exhange rate of $1.47 to the Euro, with 3% on top of each purchase going to my bank.

Coffee at $10 a cup shows you who is nuts. The market is hugely distorted right now. If the seller of the $10 per cup of coffee can buy 4 cups of same coffee in the US for the same $10, it is irrational. The Europeans must be making some big bucks if they are willing to pay the equivalent of $10 per cup.
