This is so true.

My parents lived in the Dominican for 2 years and it took my mom a while to adjust to the people always coming an hour late.

She also realized some cultural differences. She invited a group to dinner, they arrived 1 hour late so my mom wanted to eat right away since dinner had gotten a little over done. The Dominicans were insulted and left right after eating. Mom later found out that Dominicans talk for hours when they visit, and when your ready for people to leave you serve dinner, which is exactly the opposit here.

My parents went to the house of work friends and showed up on time, the hostess was still up stairs getting ready, she was a little put off.
