Life in the classroom...expats teaching English in Korea at a university.
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
In case you're thinking of coming to Korea...
...now is perhaps not the best time. While the Koreas often have little skirmishes, this one seems a bit more serious than the others. And the Won is taking a free-fall, which is terrible for anyone who has to transfer their money overseas.
yea, no kidding about the won... I lost 8 cents on he dollar just between 3 hours between my paycheck being deposited and me having a chance to get online on the bank and make the transfer (had classes that I couldn't miss).
