The Canadian dollar is 95 cents U.S. now, a one-year low, due to falling commodity prices.
Analysts are predicting a further drop, to 92 cents and lower.
1000000 korean won will get you 1028 canadian dollars, which still sucks, but should be much better soon as the world currency traders jump on the "dump the canadian dollar" bandwagon.
too bad for Canadians living in Canada though, as inflation is going to finally rear it's ugly head there. The high dollar has been shielding them up to now.
good for us ex-pats though! |

Crap! My family and I ended up not going to Canada (pregnant wife got sick), so I'm sitting on 8,000 CDN I bought a month ago. Double damn! |

I kinda want to laugh at you, but that would be mean and I haven't entirely ruled out the possibility of karma. |
