few months back it was below 800. so it can go both ways, back up or way back down.
anyway change in sg rates always lousier. Maybe you can wait and see or just change a bit to hedge in case it goes down.

SGD is still strengthening though

If Abenomics continues and the Korean Central bank is forced to keep interest rates low as well, you might be better off waiting. As USD appreciates, it is likely SGD will maintain in that rough band with USD, therefore it is also another sign you should wait.

Of course, I could be wrong and it goes against you. If you dunno then just change now instead of leaving yourself exposed to forex changes.

The money changer is directly outside the main door of chinese embassy (big red chinese-style door guarded by two policemen). Today's rate is 840won to 1sgd. By the way i saw a lady changed 10million won (she could only count the stacks of 10,000 won note to make sure its correct. Freakingly rich AT.

It's in Myeongdong (Korea). It's better off change abit here then go there and change the bulk of the money.

The rates there are slightly higher most of the time I've been there. However if you are not changing a ton of money, the difference won't be a lot as its only about 5 - 10won per SGD.
