company

in

Britain

carried

out

a

street

survey

about

time

among

more

than

2000

citizens

in

several

cities

and

found

that

nearly

40

percent

people

agreed

that

punctuality

is

not

important

any

more.1/3

of

the

interviewees

said

that

waiting

a

friend

for

20

min

is

not

a

big

deal.London

is

considered

the

worst

in

punctuality

in

Britain.12Chinese

Timeshould

be

noted

when

datingIn

Lebanon,the

most

serious

problem

about

time

is

treating

meals.On

a

Chinese

banquet,when

the

first

Lebanese

guest

arrived

at

the

banquet

and

found

that

the

Chinese

had

got

everything

ready

and

were

waiting

for

them

to

start

the

banquet,he

called

the

other

guests

hurriedly,saying"Today"s

dating

is

an

accurate

one.It’s

the

Chinese

time.Come

here

quickly."Since

then,when

arranging

the

time

with

this

man,theChinese

will

add

"Chinese

time"for

fun.Lebanon13"5

minutes"means

half

an

hourIf

an

Egyptian

says"please

wait,just

5

minutes",that

means

half

an

hour;if

he

says"half

an

hour",

then

you

have

to

get

prepared--you'd

better

choose

another

day.Maybe

the

Egyptians

have

realized

the

problem

and

are

going

to

increase

working

efficiency.Recently,they

prefer

to

say"please

wait

for

a

second"on

some

unimportant

things,which

means

they

are

well

prepared

and

can

solve

the

problem

in

5

minutes."Tomorrow"and

"No

problem"

are

also

frequently

used

phrases

in

Egypt.Egypt14Civil
