The Financial Times' Hong Kong office is moving this weekend and, having drawn the Sunday editing shift, I have the honour of breaking in our new bureau.

The shift usually begins mid-morning. But the FT's feng shui expert, who advises clients on the ideal placement and arrangement of offices, homes and ancestral graves, warned that, as our Asia news editor put it: "We will all go broke in 2008, or something, if anyone starts work in the office before 1pm."
