If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

When I worked in the US, for a US company, I can remember the incredulity of my colleagues when they learned that our new Australian and New Zealand Operations shut down for two weeks. Now that I live here, I think that it is great. People seem to accept it when you say that things are not going to happen in the next week or so. People need the break even more with the nutty pressures that we are put under at work.
