Hi everybody.
I got a bill on my apartment door. It's hard to read, but it says I owe 188.550 - I've only been here a week. Does 188.550 mean 188 thousand won or one hundred and eighty eight won? If it is 188 thousand, is that normal for a month? week?

I just moved in about 6 days ago and I hope to god that it is not 188 thousand dollars for a week!

If you've only been there a week, it's probably for the previous tenant. There are probably monthly maintenece fees included (lights for the hallways, building cleaning, etc.) that will probably make that amount typical for a month.

Best bet though is to ask your landlord, through an interpreter if necessary.
