<p>that I thought was worth expanding upon:</p>

<p><strong>If you go to the USA, you'll find that a dime is a lot of money.</strong><br />
· Si vous allez aux Etats-Unis, vous trouverez que dix cents c'est beaucoup de fric.<br />
· Si usted va a los Estados Unidos, se dará cuenta de que diez centavos son mucho dinero.<br />
· Wenn du in die USA fährst, wirst du rausfinden, dass zehn cent viel Geld sind.<br />
· Kogda Vy priedete v SShA, Vam stanet izvestno skol'ko kupit desyatka.<br />
· Se va negli Stati Uniti, scoprirà che dieci centesimi sono un sacco di soldi.<br />
· Hvis du tager til USA finder du ud af af, at ti cents er mange penge.<br />
· Als je eens naar de Verenigde Staten gaat, zul je ontdekken dat tien cent veel geld is.</p>

<p>Soooo, Our Princess answers the *supposedly* rhetorical question: "But how ya gonna make some time when all ya got is one thin dime?"</p>

<p>Clicky for a luvverly rant in the comments...<br />

        5 boxtops, 4 bottle caps, 3 wrappers, 2 washers, and that dime will get you a membership as a Junior Birdman.

        <![CDATA[Hey!  Don't try to make me sound cheap.....I tipped way more than dimes.  By the time I left Dubai, between the fact that I would <em>TALK</em> to the service industry people (all non-Dubai) <u>and</u> tip meant that every employee of that hotel snapped to attention when I passed.

I tipped well <em>and</em> I said "Hello".  Most of the natives treated them like they were invisible and the German and French tourists yelled and demanded and I never saw one tip.
