To: big bad easter bunny

Seems to be going up at the moment.

I checked on the exchange rate for the Korean won and it was 1390 won to the dollar. It hasn’t been that bad since 1997.

"It hasn’t been that bad since 1997."

I was in Korea from 95-98 and remember when that hit. When I first went there, the rate was something like 750-800 Won x Dollar. In late '97 in a matter of weeks it shot up to something like 14-1500 Won x Dollar. For those of us that got paid by Uncle Sam, it was like the whole economy was on sale for 50% off.
