I very happy as I've managed to get ¥91.5 to AUD1.00 (trading rate ¥93ish), much better than any local bank here in Sydney who'd only cough around ¥87.5 to the dollar. thieves.

 

Did you go to KVB Kunlan? They specialise in Yen. Was able to get Yen103.5/$1 back mid 2013 when it hit 105.

Having been to Japan during times of Yen50/$1 and as high as 110 - 103.% was fantastic.

 

Heading in a couple of weeks and need to grab more Yen.

 

Yes indeed, a kvb customer! They do a great rate.

I can honestly say I do not budget for piss. If they charge me to pee, I'll just wazz on the pavement or on the piste where people are most likely to fall.

Oh, and I'd cover Fukushima with domes as well.

the problem with carrying a large wad around is the damage it does to your wallet when you sit down. I usually keep a wedge flattened under an ashtray in the room.

I paid our accom on Thursday and got 93.6927 to the AUD. Bank transfer via Credit Union through Travelex. It wasn't an exchange to cash, though - that's different!

108 yen to the dollar.......Suuuccckkksssss balls...

 

Hmm... Maybe the yen is oversold in the short term, and there will be another good chance to buy dollars. Or maybe not. In anycase, I'd say get used to it.

Visa card withdrawals fee at 7 & I holding is close to AUD $10.00 per Y50,000 and you get the rate that markets are quoting on that day. So if the official rate is 0.97 that is what you get. With bank fee it works that you get 0.95. By February 2015 the AUD will be close to 0.88 to the yen.

Hi Seemore. It is not $10 per transaction. It is 2c per $1 so you withdraw Y20,000 the fee your charge would be about Y400 or $4. This is with a ANZ Visa debit card which has a chip. I have a CBA MasterCard with a chip and it will not work with the 7&I holdings ATM. This is due to the CBA for not being aline with 7 & I holding ATM not MasterCard.
