  4. I watched this video last spring just to have changed my mortgage from Euro to Yen, perhaps I should've looked for this information before do it...In any case it's funny and very instructive. That's life :)

    PS:You Know I'm always Kidding.

Big Brother, the thought police, the two minutes’ hate, doublethink, unperson, 2+2=5 and the ministry of truth.
