Let's Not Waste Time
If there is one thing that I really love and appreciate about the Swiss culture, it is how punctual they are. In America, I feel as though people are just flat out lazy, and don't really make the effort to be somewhere they are supposed to be. In Switzerland, I know for a fact that when I go to the train station and the train is supposed to leave by 2:34, it will leave at exactly that time, and if you're late, you're out of luck. I think one of the most frustrating things I have to deal with in America, is people saying they are going to be somewhere at a certain time, and they end up getting there 30 minutes to an hour late. Not only is that frustrating, but it's just flat out rude. Americans, please, don't be late. Think of how much more we can get done if we don't make people wait on us. I promise things would be so much better!
