I'm saying that because everything is crazy expensive here. We spent about $300 on fish alone last week. Good beer (1/2L bottles) were around 2Euro at the grocery store and 4Euro at a bar. There are no bargains to be found on anything and everyone seems to want to rip one another off. Our friend's car was dying yesterday because their gasoline had been watered down to the point that their car wouldn't start.

I could tell things were bad when we went to our family's little farm and the vineyard was bursting with grapes. I've never seen it like that before. It shows that my (lazy) cousin here is finally taking things seriously and trying to harvest as many grapes and make as much wine as possible.
