I posted when it got close to W1,000. Then it went back to 1013, or something.
Today is the first time I've seen it under W1,000 (in the Chosun Ilbo). I check most days. |

| The exchange rate is "good" at 787 KRW to US$1. Today's rate is still not very good for those that need to exchange money often. |

| Isn't it expected to bounce back up instead, given the current political situation? Instead of drop to 787... |

| I read this morning that it droped mainly due to pressure for China to revalue its currency. So I suppose if China does infact revalue it's currency, then The Won will continue to get stronger. |

I said before that it will be around 950 by the end of summer. I f I'm wrong, I can eat crow. It's not so bad if you remove the feathers. |

| I've had roasted, skewered sparrow before. At a pojangmacha (where else?). One of the strangest things I'd tried up to that point. Can't remember now how it tasted. It was so small. Small, cheap, and skewered rather grimly on one of those long, thin, pokey, wooden... um... skewers, I guess they were. Best eaten with soju by the bootfull. |
