Pros

Lovely people lovely culture. You will learn a lot.

Cons

Long hours of work, I worked in Africa Regions, therefore the time zones are either 2 hours behind in some countries and 2 hours ahead in other countries. Therefore, that means you'd need to provision for that extra 4 and most days 6 hours of work from 6am or 5am till about 8pm or even 9pm
