Random Ramblings - Austria & Czech Trip - Nov 2014

Currency Exchange

So, I had my currency exchanged at Sunway Pyramid's money exchange. Changed it at the one located near the concourse area (where all the ATMs are located at).

Yesterday's rate was at 4.18 for EURO. :D


I was so happy that the rate is actually this low. Luckily I did not have it changed months earlier as I used to but then again, not changing into a really huge amount, so it doesn't matter much.

However, Czech Crown is not widely available in Malaysia, so I have decided to used my Euro to have it exchanged there. Will put up a review and recommendations on where you should have it exchanged.


A little skeptical of withdrawing Czech Crown at the ATMs in Czech, but I will try this out with a small amount when I'm there. Hopefully it works out fine!

Weather

I have been monitoring the weather and it seems that it might be in the teens to about zero celcius when I'm there. I have decided to just bring over 2 jackets - Uniqlo's Fleece and also a synthetic wool sweater. It will be layered for more warmth.

I can't justify bringing my fat winter jacket as it will be too warm.

Keeping my fingers crossed for this as I don't want to freeze! Brrrrrrrr!

I have the one in purple but mine is in black. Got it at Uniqlo at a mere RM29 when they had a sale going on!
