How's da Dough?: May 2013

Friday May 10, 2013

It has been long time since I updated my How's da Dough weblog. It was simply because no big changes in currency rates happened. Funny thing today. Today you get more than ¥100 yen for $1. It becomes more interesting to buy stuff overseas.

Recent purchases:

April 18, 2013. Three watches, ¥48000. Rate: €1 = ¥123,1560. Paid: €389,75

April 21, 2013, Two Tees, $60,82, Rate: €1 = $1,2655, Paid: €48,06
May 3, 2013, One wristwatch, $530,25, Rate: €1 = $1,2707, paid €417,28
May 3, 2013, Three watches, $318,15, Rate: €1 = $1,2707, Paid €250,37
May 10, 2013, Three Tees, ¥12400, rate: €1 = ¥124,7800, Paid €99,38

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.
