2 Million Won is $1888.00 as of 3:30 fri afternoon. Highest it's been in years. Went up to 1800 bucks six months back and kept hovering going no further. Was 1700 bucks for years. Get back up over 2000 bucks, you crazy won you! Let's keep those fingers crossed and make Korea worth it again..... |

| Send money home tonight and hope those Korean banks don't gauge you too much on rates. What a beautiful payday! |

Bloody amaizing to live in a country where you APPRECIATE DEPRECIATION of your local currency 
Unlike for a rare few of us who work in Korea, that couldn't give a f*** about our local currency one bit  |

I had student loans. I managed to pay them all off when 1600 Korean won was equal to a Canadian dollar, so you get no pity from me. |

| All 50 K and credit card debt too? Nowadays, Korea only seems to work for those with either no debt or joke debt (like 15 Kish). But, I slowly perservere. Someday, I will be free. |

So you are set in Korea forever, or money has lost all meaning for you? I'm just guessing, otherwise I don't understand why you wouldn't care about getting more value for your dollar. |

I think in EUR, and have a Korean salary set in EUR. I don't really care much how high/low the KRW is.
You'd think a lower KRW would benefit me then, but unless it goes lower exactly when I need KRW and back up later, it's useless. |
