Show era To Travel If planning a summer holiday abroad, there are countries which clean out the happy American much faster than others. It's good to know them. IF YOU'RE thinking of visiting Japan, West Germany, Ger-many, France or England, expect to pay more than you would for comparable food and accommodations in the U.S. The scale is estimated (by Money Magazine) thus: Japan 130 (even higher in Tokyo), West Germany 111 (higher in popular cities), France 105 (higher in Paris) and England 102 compared to a 100 rating for the U.S. BUT YOU can get almost twice as much for your dollar in Portugal (54) and if you have a hankering to go all the way to India, you get by on a 43 rating. Good bargains, still, are found in Mexico (58), Brazil (59), Canada (76), Greece (86), and Italy (94). If you're watching your budget, these countries would be best for families and of the European countries certainly cer-tainly Italy, Portugal and Greece have much of historical his-torical and religious interest to offer. |
