Getting use to the different currency

Not a big blog, or anything really important. Just a little diddy I guess...

In Costa Rica we paid for everything with Colones. We could get around 520000 colones for 100 US dollars. At first it was difficult to figure out what it was costing us, but after a while I figured out a good way to do it. I would move the decimal over by 3 spots and double it. So, when I found a Lacosta sweater for 19000 colones, I knew it was only 40$. (why did I not buy this!!)

Here in Belize we buy things in Belize Dollars. The exchange rate is 2 Belize dollars for every 1 US$. I'm still getting use to dividing by two instead of doubling it. Our dinner 2 nights ago cost 75$ and at first I doubled it for Costa Rica, Chris then reminded me to divide. So our dinner was only just over 35$ and not 150$!

See, math is good!
