Attitudes toward time differ from country to country and culture to culture.
Americans, for example, are customarily later than the times announced or scheduled for
appointments and parties, though how late (1A ) with the occasion and the particular
COuntry. In contrast, Germans and Swedes and Americans from the northern states
expect people to arrive precisely on time and will sometimes stand outside a door ( 1B
at their watchuntil the exact moment to knock or ring the bell. Consequently, anyone
who hopes to do business abroad or simply demonstrate good manners while traveling
around the globe ( 1C ) to learn new codes of etiquette to fit in with local custom.
Learning local time custom will not only fatter your hosts and make your visits more
10 pleasant, but will also amake you a good ambassador abroad; instead of causing
embarrassment, misunderstanding, and offense, you will demonstrate your respect for
your host culture and your own international aptitude,
Although you yourself must learn what is polite a in terms of time in any given place, it
helps to have some general guidelines for wide areas, In the main, northern areas are
15 more precise about time and southern areas less. A dinner invitation for seven o'clockin
Chicago, which has a strong northern European influence, means that you must arrive at
or before that time, while a dinner invitation for seven in New Orleans, which has a
strong Italian, Spanish, and French influence, means you should come sometime between
7:15 p.m. and 8o'clock. In Sweden, a 7 p.m. invitation means a7 p.m. arrival time, while
in Mexicoa7 p.m. invitation means not before 7:30 or 8 p.m. and a 7 p.m. party invitation
might mean "Come around 10 or 11 p.m." Americans who are invited to a Mexican party
scheduled for 7 p.m. and who arrive at 8 p.m. might find themselves the first guests of the
evening. In Arab countries, in contrast, a dinner invitation might be incredibly flexible;
in fact, in some rural areas it might mean, "show up sometime on the invited day" if it is
for a celebration. In other words, s you should find out what the local custom of time
and invitation involves before you set out for dinner or a party.
