 |
|
| Just a warning to people heading off on holidays. I just got back from Thailand and the won only gets 26 B at the airport and 27.27 B at the better exchange places. The U.S. dollars gets 32 or 33 B. So it's much better to take U.S. cash with you on your holiday. H.K some places will only buy korean money at 6hk to 1 korean. |

| I actually got a fair rate in Malaysia on the Korean won, but outside of the airport, it is difficult to find places that will change Korean won to Malaysian ringgit. |

Oh, Malaysia. The Malaysian exchange rates for the US$ are almost the same as posted on xe.com I really don't understand it. I'm not complaining, of course, but it's really weird. I was there recently and could get 3.2 for my $1 when the rate was at like 3.24. |

| The Won received a similar exchange rate with the dollar in Shenyang, China (there are many Koreans there). You will receive practically the same amount of Yuan for both currencies: well, when the won is roughly equal to the dollar that is. |
