Hi, this is just a random question, but roughly how much would 241, 000 yen be in Canadian money? I'm very bad at math, otherwise I would try to figure it out. :chococat:

Go to Google.com.
Type "241000 yen in Canadian dollars" into the search box.

Voila. You have your answer.

I find it nice that I sent my money to Japan when it was 119 yen to the dollar. When I return to America on vacation, I'll be able to get a dollar for only 100 yen. Now is a good time for Japanese to be taking their vacations overseas, and now is a good time for America to sell it's goods here, a new American car (or anything else) can be had for 20% less than last year. Bad news is that Japanese cars, tvs, etc, have gone up that amount in America.

241000 yen? Are you looking at the monthly pay offered by English schools? That figure is more or less the entry level ballpark amount.

Oh sweet....

this is what I got...

1 JPY = 1.2590 CAD

and just so you know....
JPY is Japanese Yen and CAD is Canadian Dollar.

i got this from XE.com:

1.00 JPY = 0.0127252 CAD

our dollar is dropping, but not that bad yet :P

The site you use is definitely NOT accurate... use XE instead

I only googled what Nyororin said...

and up popped about 100 different sites....

I only chose one.

But thanks for the tip....
unfortunately I don't have Canadian money....
can you loan me some?

Nyororin 10-22-2008 11:16 PM

Google should be giving the answer, above any search results. That is what I meant. You shouldn`t even have to go on to any sites.

Either way - that is insane. There is NO way that 1 JPY is ever anything close to 1 CAD. I would say that they`ve screwed up and are calculating by cents - which would make sense.

If the world has changed so much that I can get $1CAD for every yen I have... I think I`ll be taking a vacation to Canada. :D I have like 30,000 yen in my wallet right now. I`ll be rich!
