Hi All! Continuing on sharing some currencies from around the world, the Philippine Peso is colourful and has a great variety of coins, some with gold rings on the outside. The exchange rate during July has one US Dollar equalling around 58 Philippine Peso. Thanks for popping by! May the Journey Never End!

Howdy all! Today I've got a couple of YouTube Shorts I took in Korea back in May. There are a couple I haven't put together yet, but these are the ones I put up whilst I was there. Enjoy! Starfield Library in Gangnam, Seoul. This place is incredible and built it seemed for Instagrammers! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_ROSK2ix47k …
