Time in the U.S. and in my Country
- Alex WangQi
There are many cultural differences between the U.S. and my country.
One is the Time difference. In the U.S. it is the day now, but it's the night in my country. There is almost a 12-hour difference.
Also, there are few differences about trains on time and people on time. Forexample, in the U.S. the subway must be on time. They have their own exact schedule. In my country, althought they have the schedule, it always late, and people never care about this. Because people are always late, there are many lateness in people's mind. For example, if some friends late by 30min, people don't mind. But in the U.S. we must be on time, and if you are late, American people will think you are not polite.
Anyway people can leave afterwork or after school on time in the U.S.. But in China, many people don't leave after work or after school. They always used extra time to work or study.
So, each country has their own time style, we have to observe it.
