Arrived in Japan I wanted to change my Korean money but no Japanese bank at the airport
or in Tokyo accepted Korean money. Almost any other currency would have been fine
including Austrian Schillings but NO Korean money: Korea as one of the strongest
economy not just in Asia but world wide, a neighbor country with lots of exchange going
on. To say no to a countryıs money is a rather strong symbolic act and needs to be
addressed.

I think this is outrageously arrogant and discriminating. It is a shame for Japan.
