Today changed S$10,000 at Arcade bagain for 859. Deal.

You bargained....? Wah 10k only changed 859 ar? I'm sure that some places would have gone higher leh.. Ground floor was already 858, means 2nd floor sure higher one.

Went to Arcade today to beo. 862.06 was the highest at 2 shops. The rest all much lower for some reason. I even saw 840 at Loo & Ng haha.

The current trend seems to be up, so if it were me I would wait abit more. Also try to change at Arcade because so far there seems to have the best rate! =:p

Just spent almost two weeks in Korea. I'd advise anyone who's going, change only the minimal possible in SG.

There's really no point changing in SG when MCs in Seoul are offering rates unbelievably high, you won't believe it until you visit them yourselves.

Last week, when arcade was offering 858 and then 862, I got mine changed in Seoul for 870, then 875 last Thursday. (I can show the receipts if needed)

This M.C in Myeong Dong is ALWAYS offering higher than what the best in SG can offer, so I really don't understand why people STILL change big amounts here in SG, it's really losing money instantaneously by doing so, especially for those who change by thousands at Arcade and still feeling happy over it lol.
