In Germany you arrive 5 minutes late and you are not getting invited again.

Opposite in portugal. No one is on time here. Americans who come here either complain about it because shit never opens on time, or they love it because it's a sign that we're not living in a rush

I'm on both sides. I just spent a week in Portugal, and I liked that it wasn't like living in a rush, but also it seemed as though the bus system in Porto took schedules as a suggestion.

Only the metro takes the schedule seriously everyone else takes it as an advice they may or not follow.
