Paris is expensive!

I've decided that things are more expensive in Paris. Everything here seems to be the same amount in Euros as in Canadian dollars. For example, a coke from a vending machine is 2 Euros, where as in Canada it is 2 dollars or sometimes less. So at first things seem reasonable because the price looks familiar but then you have to factor in the exchange rate which is not so great at the moment and you realize just how much more you are paying for everything. The only cheap thing that I have done here so far is go to the movies... it only cost 4 Euros because they had a special going on for a week. I'm not sure how much it costs regularly though, probably around the same as it does in Canada. Everything else seems to be a lot more expensive though; food, rent, clothes, and the list goes on...
