And I'm pretty sure you meant Old Europe in that sentence as well . . .

The thing that has always frustrated me about most "frugal" travel writing is that the budgets always far exceed my own meager means. Anyone can make it on a $500 budget -- I think it takes a lot more knowhow to enjoy London on $25/day. Sadly, many people are discouraged from traveling because they think (and travel sections seem to support) it must always be expensive. Readers who visit sites like Wise Bread already practice many of the budgeting skills they need to be "no-budget" travelers -- sometimes a few things just need tweaking to get the most bang for one's buck (especially at this exchange rate -- ouch!).

And David, if you make it over here, I'll *treat* you to a coffee in Berlin. The city's got a great cafe culture as well, and I think the price would max out at 3 euros ($4.50) per cup :)
