(Teresa Lopez, from Cali, Colombia)
Where I'm from, we're pretty relaxed(1) time. We don't like to rush around. So we don't mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner, its OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time slowly. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop by our friend's homes if we have time. We don't usually have to make plans to meet our friends.When we see each other, it's polite for boys to slake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!
(Marc LeBlanc, from Lausanne, Switzerland)
In Switzerland, it's very important to be on time. We are the capital of clocks and watches,after all! If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you're expected to be there at noon. If you're even 15minutes late,(3)你的朋友可能会发疯,So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it's impolite to keep others(2) .Also, we never visit a friend's house without calling first We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do some interesting things, or go somewhere together.
