Gemany beats Japan, 76 to 71!

Dang. I can't whine about Japanese postage being the world's highest anymore.

.. increase in charges by Australia Post which came into effect on Tuesday last week.
"At 50c, Australia's basic postage rate will still be one of the lowest in the developed world," he said. "By comparison, Canada's basic rate is the equivalent of 53c, France 62c, Germany 76c, Italy 66c, Japan 71c and the UK 56c."

Note: Japanese Yen 70.5400 to One Australian Dollar 18-Feb-2003 14:54 AEST. Also the US basic postage rate of $0.37 in Australian Dollars would be 0.624893 AUD.

NZ's is cheaper. NZ40c if I remember right. That's less than AUS40c.

For a while, my company was FTPing direct mailings of Japanese adverts to HK and Holland since they were half the Japanese postage price. Then, the Japanese post office refused to deliver such direct mail.
