Description
Culture shock chaos ensues when workers from one country swap places with fellow industry professionals from a totally different part of the world. Extreme Job Swap sees people who do the same job in contrasting parts of the world trading places for 10 days. If you can drive a taxi around one major city, you can do it anywhere, right? Maybe not! The streets of London present very different challenges to the highways of Lagos. Likewise, fishing in the Arabian Sea is quite dissimilar to fishing in the Arctic Circle.
Our brave job-swappers frequently end up way outside their comfort zones. They have to deal with everything from unfamiliar technologies to alien laws and peculiar social conventions. By walking in someone else's shoes they experience a completely new way of life.
