Australia is a place to be and I can understand all the "mates" I talked to that although that had travelled a lot around the world, they wouldn't like to live at any other place. It's a great country, in any sense of the word. I had to get used to driving a whole day in the car that I had just made 1 cm on the map of only New South Wales which again is just a smaller part of this huge continent.
And within that spacious nature there are just 20 mn of people who understand how to strike a healthy life-work balance. Things function very well in Australia, the the people have maintained a remarkable friendly and relaxed attitude. "No worries" is a common term for a mix of "you're welcome" and "no problem" and that reflects pretty much how Australians make it through their walk of life.
Hope to write a bit more of my experience in the next days and post some pics when I have sorted out a pile of work which has amassed. But anyway, I would like to thank the "mates down under" who have made it a unique real-life experience, especially Ben, James, Ari, Maria and Scott.
As a little welcome-surprise arriving in Munich, I got to know that I will moderate the "India Panel" on the Digital Lifestyle Day (DLD) on Monday morning. Really looking forward to that. Because I have received already a couple of requests to help for a ticket from a few friends, I am afraid that I am of little use. I spoke to the event-producer Rupert Schäfer today and he said that no more invitations would be sent out on a short notice. Sorry …
