Had to smile when you wrote about the French lunch ritual, not so different from the Viennese one, only that the Viennese move from a leisurely lunch on to the coffeehouse. I know, they do work too, but haven't quite figured out when. ,-)<BR/>Greetings from Vienna,<BR/>MerisiMerisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12493055.post-89015435558336788152007-05-04T00:32:00.000+12:002007-05-04T00:32:00.000+12:00I didn't know about conversion charges.

CD is $15, worldwide shipping, even to NZ, is only $9.50.<BR/>Bargain city, girl!<BR/>That's only $5 more than I paid for local shipping...<BR/>:)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840370708098022422noreply@blogger.com
