How's da Dough?: January 2013

Tuesday January 29th 2013.

Well, I haven't posted for a while, as not much happened around New Year, but suddenly, last week the currency rates became pretty interesting for uying outside the Euro Zone for me.

I have bought several small things lately.

Saturday: T-Shirt + shipping from Hong Kong, $34.-,
Rate Paypal: €1 = $1.30434
Paid: €26.20

Monday: Toy 1: $30.88
Rate Paypal: €1 = $1.30240
paid: €23,71

Monday: Toy 2: $27.49
Rate Paypal: €1 = $1.30222
Paid: €21.11

Today: Used watch: ¥8100
Rate Paypal: €1 = ¥117.018
Paid: €69.22

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.
