Does anyone have any familiarity, experience with, or exposure, to the Peace Corps?

I spent the last hour or so browsing their site and reading up on them. The Peace Corps seems like a fantastic opportunity to travel abroad and work with those in another culture.

It also seems like a pretty dramatic change; specifically, immersion in a lifestyle very different from the existence I've pretty much taken for granted in America.

Do any of you have experience with the Peace Corps? I'd also be excited to hear opinions, comments, or thoughts regarding the organization.
