 |  The Problem of Caribbean Time
Great article by Francis Wade on The Problem of Caribbean Time. We have many similar issues here in Egypt and I know it's a matter of concern to international companies working here. (I was priviledged to attend the Young Arab Leaders conference here in Cairo back in July). I am very interested to see Francis' suggestion to reframe "time management" as "personal habit management" and wondering how that might work! I'd be interested to here people's views especially those of you from non-US/UK/European/Australian backgrounds. |

When I was living in Asia, specifically in the Philippines it was called Philippine Time. Even the locals would joke about the practice of showing up late for appointments or not at all. | |

That's probably a good way to look at it. I'd like to visit there sometime so it's nice to be aware of those things in advance.
