Bloody exchange rate

Gah the exchange rate is about 149 to the pound. However the best deal I can get due to not being able to have deliveries is 143. This is about 70 yen lower than last time I was there. Man this sucks!

japan, money

Tell me about it, where did you pick yours up?

I have some pound travellers cheques and I'm going to hope there is a better rate while we are over there...

Urg I worked out how much less I have this time its about 70,000 yen. Thats loads!

I have no idea how to convert it this time 1000 yen was about 5 quid this time its £6.66...

£6.66? Really? Not the greatest sign!

Managed to get a slightly better rate as the Adv.Gold is a staff account. Still not amazing though. I'll be a lot less in terms of anime crap this time!

Maybe its a good thing we will think more about what we spend our money on!

Well Kyoto shouldn't cost much money at all. In Kyoto we'll be mainly spending cash on food, drink and the odd souvenir. Most of the attractions we will be going to are free to get into.

In Tokyo it all depends on how much anime stuff you buy. If you are buying stuff for older anime (by that I mean four years or older), then you'll find tonnes in second-hand shops. Most art books are pretty cheap as well.

I'll probably go to Tokyo Museum for a day as well, as it will be free ^^
