And got my worst exchange rate in two years here about 990 won to the dollar. If the old exchange rate of close to 920 won for every dollar returns is there a fairly easy way to transfer my money back here? I don't have any family to help me out in the States.

Umm...if the Won becomes stronger it would NOT be in your best interest to exchange Dollars for Won.

You have a good point, that was silly thinking.

Yeah, no point in complaining too much about getting won that's higher than the dollar, especially since it really should be lower (it's over rated, the Won).

Yeah, I mean, you got 990? Just checked today and it was 1003.
