Well...
I have met the guy on the other planet.
VERY interesting indeed.
The conclusion is that it so does not matter if what you both want is the same, which I am happy to say was the case between us. :-)
Having said that.. I do think the level of feeling that you are walking on eggshells is a bit higher.
What I notice is that it almost feels like each planet use their own dictionary where words or phrases mean almost the same but not quite. A bit like a dialect where you can understand eachother most of the time but 20% of the time you need to ask 'what did you say' and in this case there was a lot of 'what do you mean by that' or 'why did that remark invoke that reaction' :-)
But also, fascinating, it is great to be able to take a peek in a world that is so not mine, where money is no object and a different 5 star hotel in another city each week a normality and to realise that the life I always thought would be so great because of the status, freedom and the decadence can actually be quite lonely and boring.
As he put it.. a room is a room, a bed is a bed and sometimes the desk is a bit nicer than in the other room but it is just a place to sleep. The novelty of the little shampoos, bath-gels and showercaps wears off very quickly as well apparently (can't imagine that so guess who is a lucky girl :-)) and personally I would get very frustrated of all the waiting for trains, planes and automobiles.
We are enjoying the intergalactic sharing though and I am enjoying every second.
So... Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft I am, I want to have peeks on more planets, it is good fun!
Resumes can be put into the comments of this blog.

Personally I think 'Superstar' is far and away their best song.

Yep, can totally relate to that. If it's travelling with work and you're not staying an extended period of time (where you might actually get a chance to see beyond an office/conf room) then it's extremely tiresome. If it's a holiday then it's a different kettle of...er..chips.
