It's sliding to $0.60 now :(
I'm really starting to believe that everytime I go on holidays the A$ is not good. Its like the TF Gods are telling me that its not my time yet.
And seeing all this Jap TF goodness but feeling helpless to spend on them is something you just don't want to wish upon any of your fellow TF fans. :(
And now the A$ has sunk below 0.60!!!! Crikey! 30% less TF purchases here I come.
On a slightly related question, are TF's considered cheaper in Hiroshima the say in Osaka and Tokyo?
The upshot of the US$ and most others failing, is that the Australian dollar is also getting weaker against the New Zealand dollar. Meaning it doesn't cost me as much to import things from Australia as it was a few months ago.
Looking towards Australia as a possible source of Japanese toy goodness..
One of my recent purchases on the bay was 1500usd. this translated into 2300 aud.
I think that pretty much puts everything into perspective.
2 months ago, when the dollar was almost par, I would've probably at most shelved out 1600 AUD. which basically mean i shelved out an extra 700 just cause of the stupid bloody exchange rate.
Fortunately, I made the payment around the 0.7 mark, which is basically the highest its been since it first initially dropped to 0.65.
I thought that the NZ $ was at like 2 cents by now. :D

Man, this dipping dollar hasn't curtailed my TF spending habits at all... :o
Well I have to say, I'm not looking forward to MP-2 and 7's releases. They'll probably set me back by at least $400, and considering I'm earning a casual retail worker wage, that hurts. :(
What does the Aussie market need to do to recover?
it's not like we are dying completely like the UK Market, and thus deserve to be punished, our market is still going somewhat strong in contrast to Europe and the US.
We can't do anything. The dollar is going down simply because investors are running away to currencies which they percieve as more stable and safer such as the Yen.
