OK in May when the 10 new countries join the EU (Czech Rep. Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and the such) will they be joining the Euro immediately or will they be given time to join gradually? Also, how much will this inflate the cost of living in these countries? If they haven't joined the Euro immediately would I still be able to use Euros in those countries?

considering that the average yearly wage in poland is under £4000, i wouldn't worry too much about high costs of living.
and when my mum went to poland last year, i'm sure she didn't take zloty, but i can't for the life of me remember what she did take.
they were still using zlotys last june
yus. i had a chat to her, and she said she took euros because the euro - zloty exchange rate was loads better than the sterling one, and because she couldn't find any places near us that even stocked zloty.
