140 an hour dual really isn't *that* much higher than in the US.

At 4:33 AM EDT, the excange rate quoted was 1 USD = 0.7974 Euro. That
makes 140 Euro = $175.57.

one thing to note: although the rental prices tend to be much
higher in Europe, you are also more likely to find clubs that
provide instruction for free (instructors volunteering their
time); so training is not necessarily so much more expensive
as it might be in USA.
