Man, I really suck at math, but maybe I can’t take all the blame.
Hungary uses the Forint (not the Euro), and it is confusing the heck out of me right now.
Converting Euros for me is fairly easy as all you have to do is divide the Euro amount by 1.5 to get the Canadian. In Mexico, converting the Peso to Canadian dollars was even more simple, because all I had to do was divide the Peso amount by 10 in order to get the Canadian dollar value. In Argentina, to convert, all I had to do was divide by 3. All of these calculations are relatively easy for moi, who is admittedly lacking in math skills.
But Hungary is an entirely different ball game and has me quite befuddled. The exchange rate has fluctuated a fair bit in the last couple of months, which means that currency exchange places seem to be giving wildly different exchange rates. In my “Let’s Go” travel guide, which is the most recent 2009 publication, the exchange rate for the Hungarian Forint is 149.95 Forint for $1 Canadian. The picture above shows a 1000 Forint note, which, in that case, would equal about 8 dollars (I think).But now, I see rates like 174 Forint for 1$ CDN. Not so easy for me to calculate, especially since I have exchanged some of my Euros for Forint, meaning that I am not only doing the Euro to Forint conversion (1 Euro = 246 Forint), but also the Euro to Cdn Dollar conversion (1 Euro = $ 1.5 Cdn). Yikes!
I exchanged 50 Euros yesterday and wound up with about 13,000 Forint. How much is that in Canadian? Breakfast was 740 Forint. Dinner last night was 3301 Forint. I paid 3500 Forint for a city tour. I used the internet last night for 700 Forint. How much is all that in Euros? Or even in Canadian? I’m beginning not to care any more. It’s just too hard to calculate!
Can’t wait to get to Vienna tomorrow and start using the Euro again!
