PS: Why is the PDF different today? In Ireland, lateness is part of our culture; even trains and the Dail (parlament) are usually late by quite some time.

I noticed the English translation of 6時50分 was "6:30" in the main audio lesson. At 04:43 "Wow, it's already 6:30? This is bad." :grin: Hi!

I noticed the English translation of 6時50分 was “6:30″ in the main audio lesson.
At 04:43 “Wow, it’s already 6:30? This is bad.”

Thanks for the chance to practice some more. I used to live in Italy, and although for business meetings they were pretty punctual, they'd usually be late for social meetings. That's why mobile phones caught on so quickly there - it's a useful way to let people know how late you're going to be. Unfortunately, I would almost always be paid late, by whichever company. Sometimes up to a month. : ( Hey, I just did shika in my lesson. Thanks for the chance to practice some more.

China has undergone many massive changes started by a few people, so maybe the philosophy I described doesn't apply everywhere. Josiahさん that’s a good point, I don’t really have an answer for that.

Now this isn't cannon, but the majority of Aussie's are often late because both japanese and korean friends often complain about the tardiness of people when it comes to meeting up or something. But parties are different, if you were to invite me to a party which started at 6pm, then i wouldn't get there until 7.30 at the earliest, unless there was dinner ;) maxiwawa, i don't know if i can agree with your comments about the chinese always being willing to wait, didn't they have a revolution because the people got fed up with the system? its bound to happen again, always does when the masses are treated like cattle :wink: In Australia, there is almost no concept of being late, (except in a business meeting)
