When I first arrived here in Ulsan, the Won to Dollar ratio was fairly equivalent. 1000 won was equivalent to about 94 cents. As of today, 1000 won is equivalent to 68 cents. It blows big time. Money wasn't the primary reason for me coming here obviously but would I have initially came if I knew the won would begin to suck so much after 2 and a half months in? Not sure. Oh well, as my fellow foreigner teacher tells me, I should treat this whole experience like a year long vacation. Though, if things don't change and the won continues to suck, I'll have lost about 4-5 grand before I can even put it into my pocket. That money could go a long way into another nice vacation. Damn you world economy! What about me! This is just my luck.
