I am on one now and am the only one here so far. It's kind of intense

Yeah, veey tiring. You can be in HK, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai and never left the meeting room or hotel. Long days.

That's exactly it, M1! I'm in East Africa and have gotten an average of four hours of sleep since Friday.
