Miles and miles from western Europe and the US. A little outpost on the end of long continent which had to be circumnavigated to get to the east. As recently as the 1960's, immigrants arriving to a new country by ship, after a several week voyage from the UK. I arrived the first time after an overland trip through Africa that lasted 6 months. But now, in less than 24 hours, you can fly from the US to Capetown. Are we meant to change our surroundings this quickly? I find the jet lag has not so much to do with my physical clock being thrown off, as my mental bearings.
