Howdy.
Quick question for anyone who knows:

Going to Japan and trying to decide whether to turn won to yen
or just use my US credit card (thus dollars to yen).

Which'd bring the best savings do you reckon?

(Sorry, I suck at math)

1$US=1415 KW
100JY=1579 KW
1$US=89.52 JY

Thanks!!!

If you use won, change it to yen in Korea, at the airport if you wish. Exchange rates for won in Japan is terrible.

But I recommend US Dollars for traveling.

won to yen from within Korea. Saves you the hassle of doing it there.
