				| Dear D, 
 You probably need to try Korea. Others have suggested this to you before, if I'm not mistaken.
 
 Follow the money--if that is what you need the most in your life now.

				| Korea is not so great anymore.  The won dropped from 900 to 1300 per US$, and it is projected to get worse. |  |

				| I believe the won is loosely pegged to the dollar and should even out. Asians are actually investing in won now because they expect it to go back up..

 If you really want to follow the money forget Korea; the Won is taking a kicking. I'm not super-sold on Taiwan for a number of reasons which you'll find elsewhere in this forum but I'm making more here now in Canadian than I was 2 months ago and that's for a medium level, very easily obtainable wage.
