These things always go in cycles.
I'm paid in Euros so it's great for me. Won to the Euro is currently around 1.6.
But if you're paid in Won and you're trying to pay of student loan debt, this is not good news. |

this could be a stupid question with the simple answer being you don't work in korea at the minute, but if it's not......how are you paid in Euros?? |

| The Won was down 2.5% in May alone. That's a 2.5% pay cut if you send money home. Not good news at all. |

As you said, good for you. Go to Europe and get ripped off. |
