Economic crisis hits my bank account

I haven't posted anything in month. But I just have to say that this economic crisis thing (which is followed religiously here in Korea ) has hit my savings. My 5000$ are now about 3000$ ( not counting the exchangerate ) It doesen't exactly make me want to save more, but what else can I do. I'll give it a year or so to recover and if it is still that puny I'm gonna spend it on a month long Thailand trip...
Strangly my US stocks have only gone down 25% while the eastern european ones crashed 60%. The Russian stockmarket is closed since a couple of days which doesn't really fill my heart with joy or confidance.
On the otherhand Mr Brown has declared the Islandic people to be terrorist so maybe this is the week for freakish occurenses...
