Nowadays,many people in China and Japan are racing against time.They put a lot of value in "being on time".However,in some countries of the world,people have different opinions on "being on time".
Germany
Thanks to its industrial past,in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting.
In Germany,being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting,wondering how on earth you could be so stupid.What will you do if anything unexpected happens,like heavy traffic or a sudden rain?So remember to arrive early in Germany.
Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them.It's because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about.It could be that it's too hot to do anything on time.So don't expect them to be on time.Moreover,looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners,so don't get angry with them,either.
Ghana
Most meeting times can be changed,even if an exact time is given,Ghanaians are very relaxed and easy-going.They think that if everyone is late,then no one is late.After all,what can't be done today can get done tomorrow.If you find it difficult to deal with,prepare to be unhappy.Otherwise,sit back and enjoy the ride.
Russia
Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not.When doing business in Russia,do be on time.Otherwise,it will be considered disrespectful.But Russians won't hold themselves to the same standard.So,again,patience can be key.
