| It's 789! I can't remember it ever being that low since I've been here, since 2003. It's a beautiful thing. |

The lowest I've ever seen it was during 2001 when it dropped to 783, although I'm pleased as punch even if KEB keeps it at 810 or so.
Last year I checked out some of my statements, and I had to do a couple of exchanges at 948 or so. Painful to see. |

Yep, in November 2004, it was about 960, and then only 5 or 6 months later it was at about 785 or so. Crazy. |

Wow! When was that? Certainly not in the last six years that I've been here. That would be fantastic! |

The korean won is strong, therefore, it takes less won to buy one CDN dollar. Hence, it's good for you because when you exchange you get more canadian money. It's a pay raise.
The won to yen rate is also really good right now. |
