Difference in timing. Different time orientation also leads to differences in counting time between eastern and western cultures. Similarly, it brings forth differences on punctuality and time arrangements. If you are late for 5 minutes in US, you must make an apology, and being late for 30 minutes is a serious offense. Whereas in China, being late for 5 minutes is not serious, and usually people of higher status are expected to be late. Many people do not accomplish a single task at a given time. In our country, it is often the case that people visit others without any appointments. We frequently hear people say, "I'd like to visit you when you are available,", or
"Whenever it's OK." This kind of hospitality would be misunderstood as polite but not serious talk, because no definite time is given. This is the representation of spiral and linear time between China and America.
