Want to buy some bread? You have to wait while the shopgirl is busy calculating, exchanging francs for euros, and making change in both currencies, since she doesn't have enough euros in her register. After 15 minutes you finally have your baguette, and you head toward the post office. It's easy to find, thanks to the euro. There's a line of people three...
