1. TIME: You remember that there are 9 hours difference between Grenoble and Los Angeles. They are 9 hours BEHIND us. Their workday begins when ours finishes. So, that means when we arrive at 16h (4 p.m.) local time, it will in fact for our weary bodies be 1 a.m. the following day. So we'll probably go straight to bed as soon as we arrive at the hotel!

2. MONEY: Today's rate of exchange shows that $1 = 78 euro centimes.
If we round off the number to 0.75 we can remember that, roughly:
DOLLARS
$1 = .75 €
$2 = 1.50 €
$3 = 2.25 €
$4 = 3.00 €
$5 = 3.75 €
$6 = 4.50 €
$7 = 5.25 €
$8 = 6.00 €
$9 = 6.75 €
$10 = 7.50 €
COINS: (again, approximately)
5 cents (a nickel) = 4 centimes
10 cents (a dime) = 8 centimes
25 cents (a quarter) = 20 centimes
50 cents (a half dollar) = 40 centimes

17°C = 62.6°F
18°C = 64.4°F
19°C = 66.2°F
20°C = 68°F
21°C = 69.8°F
22°C = 71.6°F
23°C = 73.4°F
