Nevermind.. maybe it's an Asian thing. I thought with all the yellow-fevered geeks on here, they'd at least know what Asian time is.

Asian time is usually + 1 hour. For example, an asian banquet would say it starts at 6:00 but it actually starts at 7 because some inconsiderate laggers decide to make a late show.

It's not just Asian. Lots of round eyes have the same problem.

Lots of mexicans seem to have the same problem, too. There's a mexican catholic church a few blocks from my house. They ring that damn bell at 10 am every sunday and I see gobs of mexican families walking down the street all dressed up ready for church -only they're a good 20 minutes late.

Asian time? When I was in college a lot of my good friends were Indians, and whenever other Indians were late they told me "Indian Time" was to blame.

I thought Asians were generally punctual...

yeah, your asian time is pretty bad...at UM, it's only about 30 minutes, although it varies on the person of course :)

When it comes to weddings, the invitation card would normally say something to the effect of "be there by 7, dinner starts at 8"

And for chinese marriages, it's normally expected to give money in red envelopes.
