Welcome to Gaia! ::

last time I was there, the canadian dollar was a bit bigger than the normal 100 yen. and last time I was there, canadian dollar was smaller than US dollar. not too sure how it is right now, though. but I'm pretty sure that US is a bit bigger than yen.

Definitely went down then.

I also read that by the summer, the yen might be stronger than the penny (can't really say the dollar, i guess, can you? That would be reeeally bad if one yen were bigger than a dollar biggrin )

But still, I highly doubt that would make things all that much more expensive. I was surprised by how cheap some of the food is myself. And other things were pretty similar in price. So while you may not be getting the same advantage that you could have gotten before, you aren't exactly getting ripped off either. At least we're not talking London prices coupled with the terrible exchange rate for Britain. biggrin

Have fun!
