The Jukkasjarvi Icehotel in Sweden is an interesting and cold place for a holiday. It started life as an igloo (a small house made of snow) at an art exhibition in 1989.
Hundreds of people visited the exhibition and some even slept there, so the builders decided to make it a hotel.
The Icehotel is open for less than half a year. Every May it melts and every November it is rebuilt. It now measures 5000m2 and it needs 14,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of snow to build it. This actually means that it is more than 88% snow.
Ответьте на вопрос
How long is the Icehotel open for?

Hyperinflation
1. Inflation is a sustained increase in the aggregate price level. Economists generally reserve the term hyperinflation to describe episodes where the monthly inflation rate is greater than 50 per cent.
2. Hyperinflations are largely a twentieth-century phenomenon. The most widely studied hyperinflation occurred in Germany after World War I. The ratio of the German price index in November 1923 to the price index in August 1922 – just fifteen months earlier – was 1.02 × 1010. This huge number amounts to a monthly inflation rate of 322 per cent.
3. Hyperinflations are caused by extremely rapid growth in the supply of «paper» money. They occur when the monetary and fiscal authorities of a nation regularly issue large quantities of money to pay for a large stream of government expenditures. In effect, inflation is a form of taxation where the government gains at the expense of those who hold money whose value is declining. Hyperinflations are, therefore, very large taxation schemes.
