Working the time zones

Barry was very busy working on a grant application with colleagues at home during this time and the nearest internet café was 30 minutes away. Fortunately we had a mobile broadband card (it plugs into the laptop) so he was able to get on the internet as often as needed, even in a place as isolated as Matarangi. Because of the 16 hour time difference his colleagues in North America could work on their part of the grant during their day, and then when they were sleeping Barry would be writing his part!
