I didn't notice the Euro was recovering this fast, until I read this newsflash on my iPhone. I missed the part that the Euro passed the $1,35 level, but this is a good rate too.

Not much buying lately. My bicycle broke down totally, so I have to buy a new bike. I found a nice new bike for €925.-. I could have bought 10 G-Shocks for that price.

While in Japan, I bid on an auction of a special G-Shock for a friend of me in Kyoto. Also I had to pay postage for some things I could not take with me in my suitcase anymore (including a Boks-kun). Total price for everything was 13050 yen. I was charged €121.09 with a rate: 1 Euro = 107,778 Japanese Yen.

"Boks-kun"

Since I got my iPhone in March 2009, I was constantly checking the Currency app. I buy a lot of stuff around the world and I am always interested in the currency rates over time. I mostly pay in US$, £ and ¥, but sometimes I pay in CAN$ and AU$ too.

I started this blog on July 13th 2010, but I had already some screen shots saved on my iPhone. This explains why you find screenshots from back to October 2009.

I will try to update this blog from time to time, if there are any interesting changes. I don't know in what frequency. If there does not change much, it is not interesting to post daily. Maybe the Weekend is a good moment to post, because there is no exchanges are closed then. Maybe I will rapport my purchases and the calculated value in € in the future too.

I'm not sure I will allow comments. I made this blog in the first place for my own reference. On my 50 Gs weblog I already noticed that spammers love posting comments.
