Late

In Turkey I have been living with two Spanish flatmates and we go often together to meet our Spanish friends somewhere and ask how are they. This have helped me to understand why Spanish people arrive late. Usually it is not because they are busy. It is because they expect also everybody else to arrive late. If we are meeting in the street to go somewhere arriving 15 minutes late is OK but if you arrive half an hour late it is considered bad. If somebody have invited to their home arriving one hour late is not a problem.
