Punctuality :)
I really do love this country! I believe I sad that a couple of times already, but yep, here it is again... :-)As most people who know me will tell you, I am quite a punctual person and I am always slightly annoyed when I have to wait, but living here is like heaven: everyone, and I mean literally EVERYONE is on time! It's unbelievable! And not only are they on time, but whatever it is that is being done is done so efficiently that the whole process is over in matter of minutes. Now, to someone who was used to all the classes starting with at least 15 minutes deferral (popularly known as the "academic quarter") and then taking ages to finish, I was very pleased to learn that people are completely oblivious to the concept here. And most of the classes finish ahead of schedule because everything that needed to be covered was covered efficiently. :-))) Just to give you a random example: I had some financial issues to take care of with the administrators in the university's finance departments. I went there without an appointment, met with 4 different people and the matter was settled in 10 minutes.
Long live efficiency! :-D
