| If you don't speak Korean (like me) you accumulate a lot of change in Korea. This is because you don't understand when someone tells you how much something costs so you just thrust a 20 at them and shove whatever change they hand you into your pocket. Also, you can just bring the whole jar into the bank and have them deposit it into your account and not pay a fee. Back home the bank won't take it unless its in rolls. There are machines in grocery stores that charge almost ten percent to change it to paper money. |
A 20 what?
Did they start making 20,000 won bills in Korea when I wasn't looking? |
YES!! I call troll - rumdiary has never set foot in Korea and lives in his 'momma's basement because he can't get a job flipping burgers or something!!!!  |
Right. Because getting a job in Korea is hard to do. Try getting a job teaching in the U.S and we'll see how far a B.A gets you.
I taught in Korea for a year and still come on here when I'm bored.
Sorry you missed the point. |
So over the I have a better job thing! I used it before...it makes no sense, I am at work now designing Townhouses in Australia, and I could shoot myself in the head or work harder but NO! I am reading crap about people in Korea haha!.... They say I have a great job here! I work in a nice office (but fricking barely anyone comes in)... this fricking sucks! cant wait to be back in actual real society and not around these pretentious fucks I deal with!
as for saving money I hate coins in ASIA they are useless! I say fricking spend them at the billion marts every corner. |

If I find I have a stack of burdensome coins towering up on my dresser, the next time I go out, I fill my pockets to the brim with them.
Then, as I'm in line to buy something, and I take out my wallet or something, I let hundreds of coins just fall out and scatter everywhere. I make no attempt to pick any of them up, and then just take off. |

if ya'll learned numbers in Korean, and you actually understood how much something cost when you bought it, you would actually spend the coinage.
but what the hell do I know. maybe ya'll are ballers and don't carry change around. 
upon seeing more than 1,000 or 2,000 won in change sitting around, i get the impulse to the the elly down to Family Mart on the first floor and pick up some goodies. the cashiers love it too when i give them a ton of change |
