| Leaving in the next few days and yesterday tried the banks and a few money exchange places in Itaewon and this was the best rate quoted. Has anybody tried Yongsan or elsewhere that I might be able to get a better rate? Thanks. |

| Just opened a bank account here in Incheon, they gave 922 won per US dollar. If you are getting 944 won that sounds pretty good to me, either that or I got gouged. Best of luck to ya. |

You bought won. He's selling won. You two should have got together and split the difference. |
