Another world.
Somewhere between getting on the plane, and walking into the arrivals area a door (figuratively and actually!) closes behind you.
The manic traffic, cultural differences, beautiful people, each person will have a different perception.
Some will savour the prospect of being "wealthy", and flaunting their comparative new found wealth.
Others enjoy the "Rubber Time" aspect, after being ruled by the clock for months on end.
And, the more you go, the stronger the bond becomes with local contacts, and therefore the greater the desire to return.
