I've just wasted an entire 1 hour lunch break visiting various banks near to my school, in search of foreign currency.

It seems that just about everything bank can offer me a choice of just 3 currencies; the US Dollar (obviously), the Euro and the Japanese Yen. But I'm trying to get my hands on the equivalent of 400,000 won in Pound Sterling (UK).

Does anybody know where in Gwangju I must go in order to get the money I'm after? There's no point taking won home as I'm sure the banks and travel money places will just rip me off.

Thanks,

Michael
