And then of course, to the other question: I’m from Finland. My PPP increases a lot when I go to Germany. I get a higher amount of Euros as salary, but I can buy much less with my Finnish salary in Finland than I could buy with a lower German salary in Germany. And then when I use my Finnish salary in Germany… Woooo! :)

And when I go to some country in what used to be called “eastern block” in the past, then yes: I can indeed buy a lot more than I can buy in what used to be called “the west” some twenty-thirty years ago. But that’s the same in Hungary and in Slovakia, as both countries have been mismanaged in a similar manner. Whether Hungary has Euro or not, doesn’t really affect this much at all.
