savoury
I've got something to show you:
It's real. But more importantly it's mine. Well, half mine. Jackie and I have been saving money for a while now, and with the wedding coming up, we've been finding it hard to make the required monthly payments into the account. So we closed the account and thought about what to do with ₩10,000,000.
With the Canadian exchange rate so good against the won (the best it's been in two years), we decided to send it to home and... pay off my student loan!
With the exchange rate, we got over CA$12,000, which, unfortunately, is going straight to my loans.
So I'm gonna savour the thought of 12 Gs for the next few days.

How did it feel to blow 10 million all in one shot? Too bad it wasn't $$ instead.

Jen: That's too bad. But why?
Tim: It was weird.
Korea's highest currency denomination is only ₩10,000. But I wasn't about to carry around a thousand of those. Luckily they do have bank-issued checks, so we got ten ₩1,000,000 checks. It was like holding ten $1000 bills. Freaky. As we were walking to another bank to wire the money to Canada, I had this sudden urge to take it all and jump on a plane and fly somewhere hot and sunny and stay there until it all ran out...
