From Marshall:
She failed to mention the unbelievably long flight - even under the best circumstances. The jet lag from a 13hr difference. Food poisoning, the fear of being sick in a foreign country, the fear of not knowing when I will recover...especially when they're spending all this money for me to - you know - work here. Walking to work when it's hotter than the sun. All the actual work and constantly having to be "on" most of the waking hours. The complete assault on sight, sound, and smell - sometimes good, but many times overwhelming over the top. The "in your face" dichotomy of abject poverty set against crazy wealth. And being gone from family.
Then again, drinking Thai whiskey by the pool without coworkers on a beautiful day with the beach 100m away doesn't suck.
