Why did the post only appear now?

I could have more Korean Won if this article came into my FB yesterday or days before. Why show me now? 


I just changed S$1000 to get exactly KW1,000,000


I was surprised that it’s already on par, as in KW1000 = S$1. But coz I haven’t checked the exchange rate recently just knew that SGD is weakening, so assumed that’s the reason why. But today I realised it wasn’t the best rate. In the first place I didn’t know there were 2 more other money changers in Parkway as stated in the article (?). I often change with them. Now that I know I can check in this website : cashchanger to compare the rates and find out where to go. However I’m lazy and wont 🚗 deliberately drive to somewhere just to get the best rate. I add the petrol and parking fees may not be worth it. I changed in Parkway today as I was there for my lash appointment. 


A check today 










If I had KW19,000 extras, might be able to buy 5-6 떡볶이 tteokbokki 😂. 


But oh well, I guess I win some and lose some. This is what I have in my millionaire Revolut account 🤪 - S$1961.78

Youtrip do not have KW in its wallet currency. But coz I’m using Revolut that supports 33 (32) stored wallet, KW is in the list



With about S$2500 I think should be enough, or maybe more than enough. I will keep the extras for sure, coz during the research while planning itinerary I realised Seoul is actually not bad a place to go, has the interesting historical buildings and wall.

Additional post about multi-currency card. Revolut exchange rate is not as good as Youtrip, but coz I chose to stand out from the 3 of them, I went for Revolut instead 😆.
