One of the most famous necessary adjustments for any traveler, student, or expat is getting used to a new concept of punctuality. If something happens the day that it's planned, then things are going pretty well. If you ask when a bus is going to arrive, 9 times out of 10 people will say "ya viene" which means "It's coming already" and could mean anything from 5 minutes to 3 hours.

Another good example of this is the meaning of the word "ahora" in , which literally in Spanish means "now", but in
often replaces "hoy" to mean "today".

In most business or social situations, people tend to like to take the time necessary to do whatever they're doing rather than think about finishing within a certain time frame, and people are almost always happy to sacrifice some of their time to talk to you.
