Exchange rate info is wrong by xlv · 2008-10-08 09:37 · Score: 4, Informative

I just checked the info for Paris and they got the exchange rate wrong:

typically paying about (euros) 75,000 in Paris -- but with the current exchange rate, that's just $48,000.
Can the rest of the article been trusted if they cannot get something so fundamental while working abroad right?
