¥ winter 2009

Norwegian krone is so weak in relation to the yen, that to buy from Japan now is very expensive.

Summer 2008: ¥ 100 - ca. KrN 5
Winter 2009: ¥ 100 - ca. KrN 7.7

That is a lot of money, if you buy a lot from Japan.

Example.
Strawberry Cream Soda Pop "Daydream" (CD+DVD / Regular Edition) costs ¥ 3619 (Norwegian prices below)
Winter 2009 = 279 KrN
Summer 2008 - 180 KrN

The album is now nearly 100 KrN more expensive.

How is the yen relation to the currency in your contry?

£100 = 13479Yen at the moment.
£100 = 21500Yen last summer

I don't really keep my eye on the exchange rates to be honest with you, but maybe I should from now on as we are going to Japan in October. Lets hope it rises a little before then....

I think $1 USD = 90.1012 Yen.
I don't really look. If I want it I buy it regardless.
