From Polish Author Ryszard Kapuściński’s Book ‘The Shadow of the Sun’, about his time in Africa:

Having worked in the Middle East, a 10am meeting means “anywhere between 10am and EOB”.

It was always funny to see e.g. Germans travel there for a meeting and get all flustered that the meeting room was still empty 30’ later.

Then the guy shows up and you need to make small talk for another 30’
