Cultural differences can be found in various areas such as in habits, in manners, in food, and many many more. Perception of time might differ as well. Of course we know the different time zones all over the world. It influences everyday life, doing business, attitudes to history and plans for the future. Therefore it is extremely important to understand how certain nations perceive time in order to avoid misunderstandings and cultural disagreements.
What I found out is quite funny actually: In Great Britain the people know a different day split than I know. On my holiday last week I met a Scottish girl. She mention that a day knows 4 parts. Hmmm, 4? I only could come up with 3 and I refered to them by linking these parts to meals, like breakfast, lunch and dinner. But what about the fourth one? I really can't think about a fourth. Of course the Scottish girl could explain me - TEATIME!!!
