Hong Kong was busy and somehow over a month time you catch up with the speed. It does not mean you work more, but actually less. Now we are already a week in Adelaide, South Australia, staying in a very nice place in Carrington Street. The city is slow, and I get much more "done" here. Undistracted I prepare lectures and sit for hours in libraries working on publications. And the rest of the time I spend outdoors, out of which even some hours under water in a PADI diving school. I always found short office hours very important to work efficiently, since I booked on my time sheet "Office & Administration" together in the same category as "Sick Leave". Anyways, new things are not discovered in offices, but in labs, workshops, libraries, and perhaps even in a coffee shop or beer garden.
