App-stounded!
Feeling much better in the recent days. Open House does have its "healing properties" I guess (namely, having no part in it).
So I got my debit statement a while back and noticed a few cuts for "iTunes USD". I never threaded into iTunes US, much less PAID something from there. Then I realised these were my App Store purchases from iTunes SG. Here's the kicker:

"Why are they charging me in USD when it's a local store?!"


Ooh, I got pissed. I drew out the Store Terms and Conditions. No Mention of any relevant "USD", "Dollar" or "charge". My online bills show no mention either. I must have missed something because nothing said anything about charging USD in the local iTunes. The lone "$" is all the depiction of a form of dollar, but doesn't say which dollar, and one would naturally assume it's SGD because it's an SG store. But I'm not complaining. Most of the apps I'm getting are free and some apps are worth S$1.46.

Is it just me? Am I the only one who thinks they charge SGD when they've been doing USD all this while? Did I miss some documentation?
