Man, it's super interesting to hear this stuff because I was in the opposite situation! I'm from Italy, and I moved to Copenhagen about a year ago. In the beginning, everyone was so annoyed because I was always 30 minutes late for 'leisure' activities. In Italy, that's completely normal-nobody expects anyone to arrive at the exact time we agree to meet. If I arrive on time, I just chill and wait because it's normal for friends to be late. It's as obvious to us as knowing the sky is blue! I only recently started watching your videos, but I just realized you're Danish, hahaha, and now this video makes so much sense! I guess how we see time really depends on where we come from. Keep up the good work with the videos!!
hey mathias, i think youre making great observations here. and i applaud you for questioning youre own time "morals". and you are totally right, i think that it is reaqurring that the harsher the climate and the harder it WAS to survive back in the day, the more strict a culture gets about time and being on time, couse at some point youre life would have depended on it. so vice versa the hotter and more fruitfull areas of the world have a more laidback approch to time. but now that we live in a modern society i tihnk its important to understand both the importance of time, but also spare youreself a lot of let down (skuffelse) and not take it to seriously. shrug it off lækkrer videoer her for tiden btw😁
What is your experience with time management within south asian cultures?
Filipino time = 1-2 hours late

For sure appreciate a text if they're gonna be late, wouldn't think it's too much to ask for
