Is punctuality a good habit in foreign countries?

When travelling, you might experience different “local” times. This can affect almost everything: catching trains and buses, getting meals, making appointments etc. Knowing a little about the local culture could avoid a lot of problems. Remember that it is important to do as the locals do.
If you go to a restaurant in Spain at 7 pm, that’s bad news. The staff usually eat at that time. Try going after 9 pm, as the Spanish do. While in Switzerland, the earlier the better, say, 6 pm; after 10 pm, a tourist hoping for a hot meal might just go hungry.
However, in some countries, hours and minutes hardly seem to matter. In Mexico, guests invited to a 6 pm social dinner think nothing of showing up two or three hours late. In fact, it might be wise to arrive at least an hour late for dinner in Mexico to avoid embarrassing an unprepared host or hostess.
1. Are you always punctual?
2. Do you know how different people view punctuality?

你在旅行的时候,可能会经历不同的“当地”时间。这几乎会影响所有事情:赶火车和公交车、用餐、预约等。了解一些当地文化可以避免很多问题。请记住,入乡随俗很重要。
在西班牙,如果你下午7点去饭馆,这可不是一件好事情。因为员工们通常在那个时间吃晚饭。试试像西班牙人那样,晚上9点以后再去。但是在瑞士,却是去得越早越好,比如下午6点;晚上10点以后,想吃顿热乎饭的游客也许只能饿肚子了。
然而,在一些国家,几个小时、几分钟似乎并不重要。在墨西哥,受邀参加6点晚宴的客人们觉得晚到两三个小时并不要紧。事实上,在墨西哥,去参加晚宴,至少晚到一小时可能才是明智的,这样可以避免令尚未做好准备的男主人或女主人感到尴尬。
