			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the course of my packing, I decided to clean out my wallet because it&#8217;s nearing the point of weighing more than my carry on. Apart from the usual litter of receipts, I have the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>8.20 Euros. Somewhat deliberate as I changed the notes when I returned to Prague in a futile attempt not to have to withdraw any more cKs while here. I figured the ~8 would be enough to get a sandwich and drink at <a href="http://80.237.203.185/rw_e6v/main.asp?WebID=hbf_m_e&amp;PageID=128">Munich Hauptbahnhof</a>. While I&#8217;m at it, Euros. I always hear how hard US coins are because neither the dime nor quarter are marked with monetary value and the nickel is bigger than the dime. Uh&#8230; the 50 cent piece is bigger than the one Euro coin, so they&#8217;re insane too <img src='http://www.travellingcari.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>2.40 pounds sterling. Well I do have a layover at LHR, but that&#8217;s going to be as useful as $US. May see if someone else is going to have a more useful layover, though I don&#8217;t think they do.</li>
<li>$3.40 (US) leftover from what I had in my wallet and change made when changing currency at the airport before left.</li>
<li>1227 ck. At least that (with the exception of the 27 which accumulates like Japanese one yen coins) is changeable.</li>
</ul>
<p>And did I mention I only just got rid of the Polish Zlotkys and will be adding Swiss Francs by tomorrow&#8230;. There are times like this I don&#8217;t believe Europe will ever have one currency. Then again, currency insanity <a href="http://skinglist.livejournal.com/63846.html">has a tendency of doing my head in</a>.</p>
<p>Off to a final dinner at <a href="http://www.chapadlo.com/">Chapadlo</a>, the neighbourhood haunt, and then back here to finish packing. I&#8217;m being *very good* and throwing lots of random brochures away. Fitting all the class-generated papers into my backpack is proving challenging. I did however get the <a href="http://www.design-go.com/detail_38918.html">Strap&#8217;n'Lock</a> to work so I don&#8217;t have to worry about the bag on the train. It&#8217;s funny, when I went looking for that link, I also found the <a href="http://www.design-go.com/detail_38864.html">Link Lock</a>, which is what I was after when I bought <a href="http://www.design-go.com/detail_38862.html">this lock</a>. The Link Lock was useful while travelling if I wanted to both lock my smaller &#8216;daypack&#8217; and lock it to something (i.e. with laptop and camera in it) but of course I couldn&#8217;t find either of mine before I left.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t  believe I&#8217;ll be home in ~75 hours. Eeep. Not sure what internet access at the hostels in Switzerland will be, but I&#8217;ll be around on e-mail at least once.</p>
