It is a very bad time here in Korea. I arrived in October of 2007 and the won was 950ish to the dollar. Looking at 1609 on the KEB site makes me want to give my 30 days notice and head for greener pastures in Taiwan or Japan.

Sad

Well look on the bright side - it will soon be a simple 1:2 conversion.

Well, "Where almost to 1,000 KRW to 50 fifty USD cents" is roughly the point 1,000 KRW = $0.5000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

j/k

The exhange rate sucks. I just try to ignore it.

edit:

I can typo, too, lulz!

Hmmm...the Won is at 63.6 so it is 13.6 Won above 50.0. By the same logic, it is 'almost' worth 77.2.

It all depends on your point of view.

Since we're on a downer view today, let's consider this: You are one day closer to death. Very Happy

Coming to Korea as a newbie just isn't making much sense anymore. This may be good news for long-timers. The exchange rate might keep thousands of the newly-unemployed in the States from marching in droves to Korea.
