THE KOREAN WON CRASHES AND BURNS

The in the past month, the Korean won has dropped 30% against the dollar. It is currently Asia's worst performing currency, and could continue this downward spiral, experts say.

Fuck fuck fuck. I've lost a lot of money this month because of this shit.

Well, what can you do? You just have to try and weather the storm, or get the fuck out.

My dad sends me money for my birthday next month, so I would happily see another 30 percent drop.

Oh man, and they're gauging the fall against the DOLLAR? You are TOTALLY screwed. Cause they're shipping dollars with Monopoly games these days...

Nice.

Feel free to drop by Shangers any weekend you get tired of choking mules, I heard thats what passes for fun where you're holed up.

The won really is gone to shit...and they're still offering 2.2 Mill as standard, thats now approx 10K in RMB, which is a really SHIT job here.
