Change

O how I want change, need change, dream of change, wish for change, o how I desire change!

Coins that is!!!

The bank ATMs here only spit out 100 sol notes, and if you are lucky a 50 sol too. BUt how many little breakfast panarias, taxi drivers, drinks and cookie vendors, market stalls can handle that size note?? I can tell you - absolutely none!!! Forever I have plenty of money and can't spend a single luca nor pay my way for anything. Eventually today I went out and bought a decent pair of shoes that ate a third of my note, but at least I had change to pay back everyone I owed. And guess what, when it comes to tomorrow, I will be back in the same starting place with a new 100 sol note!

O how I want change, need change, wish for change, o how I desire change!
