Social etiquette is the basic rule for people to get along with each other. Different countries have different etiquette standards, but the core is always respect and kindness.
In German cultural etiquette, punctuality is extremely important. Germans regard being on time as a basic quality. If you are invited to a dinner or meeting, arriving on time is a must. Being late without reasons is seen as a sign of disrespect. Besides, Germans prefer quiet and honest communication. They hate empty and meaningless small talks.
In contrast, people in some Southern European countries are more relaxed about time. Being 5 to 10 minutes late for a party is totally acceptable. They enjoy warm and active conversations and prefer talking about art, travel and local food.
