When you land, you'll be given some money to spend on snacks and gifts to take home. Keep receipts when possible for those purchases so that you can record them. Here are some questions we want to answer about the difference between the US Dollar and the New Zealand Dollar:
[ ] What is the current exchange rate?
[ ] Kiwis have a word for their retail payment systems. What is that word and where did it originate?
[ ] What things seem cheaper or more expensive in New Zealand? Are they really? How can you figure that out?
[ ] How much of the $100 NZD you were handed when you got off the plane did you spend? On what did you spend it? How much was it in USD?
From your math teacher:
Please keep track of a few expenses (using New Zealand Dollars) and make conversions to determine your overall purchases for the trip.
