My last company had a huge office in India, and its a pretty big culture shock according to my coworkers who went. Our office is a huge building that overlooks a slum of lean-tos and 3rd world poverty.
So many people die in traffic accidents that project managers actually had to account for the fact they would probably loose someone on a longer term project!
People are so cheap there that when they would ship a US person over there, they get their own driver, assistant, and in the office you never clean anything or even erase a whiteboard yourself.

I have to admit, Im starting to waver from my previous "fuck travelling" attitude.
The Australia position opened up again and Im considering it.
I did have a driver and everyone does everything for you there no matter what. It's just the way the culture is. I didn't get near carrying a bag or preparing food the whole time. As far as culture shock goes, I grew up in places like that so I felt almost better there than I do here.

if i had 3 months to prepare for something like that i'd do it in a heartbeat. I'd love to travel or work internationally (depending on location of course).
3 months?!?!? Every trip that I've taken for this company has had less than 3 days notice. Australia was 2 days notice for a 2 month trip.

In general, traveling like this isn't for everyone. I know lots of my friends have said, "Ohhh I'd LOVE to do that" but when push comes to shove, most people don't want to leave their friends/family for that long on such short notice.
